FemaleAbout Laura N Frain
Dr. Frain joined the division in January 2014 to lead ongoing collaborations with primary care to develop and implement new models of co-managing outpatient geriatric patients. Prior to her training in the HMS Multi-Campus Geriatric Fellowship, she was a primary care physician at BWH and became aware of the unique challenges caring for older adults in the current primary care system.
During her HMS and VA Advanced Fellowship in geriatrics, she developed expertise in geriatric models of care. She implemented and participated in a collaborative model with geriatrics and the VA Heart Failure team to care for older high-risk veterans with heart failure. She is strongly committed to improving the quality of primary care to older patients and developing models of care. Dr. Frain teaches medical students, residents, fellows, primary care physicians, caregivers, and caretaker teams to meet the healthcare needs of our older patients.
