Dr. Kenneth K. Tram is a board-certified UCI Health specialist in internal medicine and geriatric medicine. He specializes in the care of aging adults, with a particular clinical interest in the care of complex and chronic conditions and diseases, as well as memory loss.

He earned his medical degree at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in Los Angeles. He completed an internship and residency in internal medicine at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center in Sylmar.

After his training as an internist, Tram pursued a fellowship in geriatrics at UCLA to prepare himself to treat the health concerns of growing numbers of baby boomer patients.

A baby boomer himself, he recognized that a variety of issues — including memory, falls, dizziness and incontinence — affect many people as they get older. “Memory is probably the biggest issue,” he says. “I’ve been very keen to look into different approaches to preserving and enhancing memory as patients get older.”

Doctors of internal medicine focus on adult medicine and have had special study and training focusing on the prevention and treatment of adult diseases. At least three of their seven or more years of medical school and postgraduate training are dedicated to learning how to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases that affect adults. Internists are sometimes referred to as the "doctor's doctor," because they are often called upon to act as consultants to other physicians to help solve puzzling diagnostic problems.
