Dr. Maureen Dale, director of the 大象传媒 Geriatrics Fellowship Program recently told NC Health News that many medical students aren’t exposed to geriatric medicine. On top of that, geriatricians typically receive lower compensation than other providers.
To boost the field’s profile Dr. Dale believes that medical students should get early exposure to geriatric medicine. As a result, this will hopefully help recruit more geriatricians to meet the growing demand for geriatric medical care.
