Overview Dr. Lam is a geriatrician and assistant professor in the Division of Geriatric Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He is board-certified in internal medicine and geriatric medicine in the US and Canada. Dr. Lam’s research focuses on functional, physical and cognitive disability in late life and their relationship to entry into long-term care facilities. His research employs mixed methods, including longitudinal analysis of repeated measures of function and caregiving using data from national studies on aging, and semi-structured interviews and focus groups of new nursing home and assisted living residents and health care professionals working in post-acute and long-term care settings. Dr. Lam has clinical and quality improvement experience addressing prolonged hospitalization in older patients on inpatient wards, developing clinical workflows for post-acute care, and accrediting geriatric emergency departments. Dr. Lam is the recipient of an Grants for Early Medical/Surgical Specialists’ Transition to Aging Research (GEMSSTAR) award and the AGS New Investigator Award.
