The Reynolds Team

The Reynolds Team unites faculty leaders in both education and geriatrics dedicated to the pursuit of bolder and higher set points for geriatrics training and care. Students themselves have requested better preparation for caring for older adults. Residency program directors seek more enlightened faculty educators for both primary care and subspecialty residents. Subspecialists want more help with humane evidence-based decision making. With support from the Reynolds Foundation,
the Reynolds Team can fulfill the School of Medicine mandate to advance care for the rural and multicultural aging population
of West Texas. Senior members of the Reynolds Team include:
