Title: The geriatric imperative: educating physicians to care for an aging population.
Authors: Zulman DM (AUTHOR), Estes CL (AUTHOR)
Source: Gerontology & Geriatrics Education. 2003, Vol. 23 Issue 3, p1-18. 18p.
Abstract: America's physicians are ill-prepared for the surge of geriatric patients that will overwhelm the medical system in the near future. The combination of inadequate undergraduate medical training in geriatrics, insufficient numbers of geriatric faculty to serve as mentors, and lack of incentives for medical students considering geriatrics as a field have resulted in graduate geriatric positions going unfilled. This paper discusses the growing need for comprehensive geriatric training and presents geriatric training initiatives that have been funded at the federal and state level, in addition to programs being funded by private foundations. Recommendations focus on enhancing the attractiveness of geriatrics, expanding geriatric curriculum in undergraduate medical education, increasing clinical exposure to elderly patients in graduate medical education, expanding career development opportunities for faculty in geriatrics, expanding funding for training and research, and reformingMedicare's payment system.
