Revisiting the one-year geriatric fellowship option: a preliminary assessment

Article Abstract:

Opinions of geriatric fellowship program directors on the 1-year clinical training option introduced have been investigated using a brief mail survey of 100 directors. Conclusions indicate the option is at best a mixed blessing for the directors, but there is optimism that likely justifies continuing to offer the option. The field has enhanced strength and attractiveness since 1992 when the 1-year option was introduced. Concern about teaching and research and the preparation of future academic geriatric faculty made for lively debate when the option was originally discussed.
