About
Board-certified in Internal Medicine and Geriatric Medicine, Dr. Moshiri sees patients at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, CA. He completed his undergraduate studies at the National Organization for Development of Exceptional Talents (NODET) and medical school at Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) in Iran. After graduating from medical school and completing his internship at the University of Maryland Prince George's Hospital Center in the Washington, D.C. metro area, he pursued both his Internal Medicine residency and Geriatric Medicine fellowship at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, NY. He also earned his Executive Master of Healthcare Administration (EMHA) at the University of Southern California (USC) Price School with Summa Cum Laude and highest honors. He was awarded the Dean’s Certificate of Merit for his outstanding academic accomplishments. In recognition of his clinical expertise, leadership in medical management, and commitment to improving quality of life for geriatric patients across outpatient clinics, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), and hospice, he has been awarded the Fellow of the American Geriatrics Society (AGSF), Certified Medical Director (CMD), and Hospice Medical Director Certified (HMDC) credentials by the American Geriatrics Society (AGS), the American Board of Post-Acute and Long-Term Medicine (ABPLM), and the Hospice Medical Director Certification Board, respectively. Dr. Moshiri is also a Diplomate of the American Board of Wound Medicine and Surgery and a Fellow of the American College of Clinical Wound Specialists (FACCWS). He has additionally been honored as a Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP) in recognition of his contributions to medicine and the broader community. Author and presenter of more than 60 scientific papers in internal medicine, geriatrics, and healthcare administration at state and national meetings, Dr. Moshiri is a long-time advocate for implementing the Quadruple Aim in healthcare to promote higher quality of care, improved patient satisfaction, physician wellness, and reduced unnecessary costs—particularly for the growing geriatric population. At Eisenhower Medical Center, Dr. Moshiri serves as Director of the Geriatric Service Line, Medical Director of the Geriatric Ambulatory Clinic, Internal Medicine Section Chief, Associate Program Director of the Geriatric Medicine Fellowship Program, and Core Faculty in Geriatrics and Internal Medicine. He actively contributes to the implementation of the ACGME-required curriculum for the Internal Medicine geriatric rotation and the Geriatric Fellowship Program. He also serves as a mentor and Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California Riverside (UCR) School of Medicine and leads Eisenhower Health’s Age-Friendly initiatives as the system’s Champion Lead. At the regional level, he is an active member of the CALTCM Policy & Professional Services Committee and serves as Executive Outreach Officer for the ACHE of Southern California BIO-KOUROSH A.P. MOSHIRI, MD, MHA, FACP, AGSF, CMD, HMDC, FACCWS 2 Inland Empire Program Council. Nationally, he serves as a Director on the Board of the American Board of Wound Medicine and Surgery (ABWMS) and as a member of the ABIM Geriatric Medicine Certification/MOC Approval Committee. At Eisenhower, Dr. Moshiri founded and developed the Geriatric Division, establishing key initiatives such as the Geriatric Outpatient Primary Care Clinic, Dementia and Memory Care Clinic, Geriatric-Focused Wound Care Clinic, Skilled Nursing Facility section, Geriatric LGBTQ+ Clinic, and expanded home care services. These programs are built on the 5Ms framework to promote age-friendly, patient-centered, cost-effective, and coordinated care, aligned with the Quadruple Aim objectives. As leader of Eisenhower Health’s Age-Friendly initiative, Dr. Moshiri guided the Geriatric Ambulatory Clinic to achieve recognition on April 30, 2025, by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and its partners (The John A. Hartford Foundation, American Hospital Association, and Catholic Health Association of the United States) as an Age-Friendly Health System – Committed to Care Excellence, advancing the 4Ms (What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility). This recognition reflects his success in transforming ambulatory geriatric care and provides the foundation for expanding these initiatives into inpatient care to meet CMS Age-Friendly standards. Dr. Moshiri comes from a family of physicians, so his career path was clear from an early age. “I was surrounded by doctors in my family,” he recalls. “From an early age, I was challenged to make a difference with my life’s work and to improve people’s lives.” During residency, he was drawn to geriatric medicine for its unique challenges and complexities. “I believe mutual respect is foundational in working with my patients,” states Dr. Moshiri. “I approach my patients with a 5M Framework, focusing on 1) Mobility, 2) Mentation, 3) Medication, 4) What Matters most, and 5) Multiple complex and chronic conditions. My aim as a physician leader is to provide a holistic, patient-centered, age-friendly, and cost-effective approach to improve quality of life while preserving the dignity of older adults. Ultimately, my vision is to position Eisenhower Health as a national leader in age friendly, value-based care and to serve as a catalyst for systemic change in geriatric medicine. I aim to build a care delivery model that upholds dignity, independence, and quality of life for older adults, transforming how we care for aging populations locally and nationally. ”
