About Malvika Varma

I am a Harvard-trained, board-certified geriatrician with over a decade of experience across inpatient, outpatient, post-acute, and long-term care settings.My clinical and academic work has focused on caring for medically complex older adults, with particular expertise in Geriatrics consultation and co-management, post-acute care, rehabilitation, and transitions of care. I have worked extensively within interdisciplinary teams to improve functional outcomes, reduce readmissions, and deliver patient-centered, high-value care.In parallel, I have a strong background in medical education and program development, with experience designing curricula, mentoring trainees, and contributing to academic scholarship.I am particularly interested in advancing innovative models of care for older adults, including Geriatrics co-management, hospital-at-home, age-friendly health systems, and scalable care delivery solutions that improve quality while reducing cost.Currently, I am exploring opportunities in clinical leadership, healthcare consulting, and strategic program development where I can contribute to building the next generation of systems for aging populations.Core interests- Geriatrics co-management with surgical specialties- Post-acute and transitional care models- Hospital-at-home and alternative care delivery systems- Functional outcomes and rehabilitation- Age-friendly health systems and Geriatrics 5Ms- Medical education and leadership development
