ADGAP Survey Question Regarding Advanced Fellows(2007) Does your program offer additional training for any of your fellows beyond the ACGME accredited 12-month training program as advanced fellows or junior faculty? (In some programs advanced fellows beyond the 12 month clinical program are given junior faculty appointments. If these junior faculty are functioning in a role similar to advanced fellows, you would answer “yes” to this question.) 51% of program directors responded: Yes

Certification and Re-certification in Geriatric Medicine by Year of Original Certification as of 4/12 Source: Lou Grosso, ABIM, 2012 and Gary Jackson, ABFM, 2012. Recertification examinations are given twice a year, in the spring and fall. Certificates are valid for 10 years. Compiled by GWPS Center. Notes: Starting in 1996, fellowship training was required for certification. Starting in 1998 only one year of training was required for certification.
Actual and Projected Ratio of Geriatricians/10,000 Population Updated 9/09 Source: The Geriatrics Workforce Policy Studies Center staff projected the number of geriatricians/10,000 population using population data from the Administration on Aging and data on geriatricians from the ABFM and ABIM and the GME National Census Note: The 2000 data is from the 2000 Census. The figures for 2010 to 2050 are from Census Bureau International Data Base.
Summary (I) • Program directors – now 2/3 with fellowship training • Number of applications per program declining • Number of available 1st year positions more than doubled over last decade
Summary (II) • USMDs filling 1st year positions peaked at 167 in 2002-2003 and declined to 75 in 2010-2011 • The majority of programs have 2-4 first-year fellows • AMA/AAMC GME data under-estimates the number of advanced fellows • In the coming decades, based on current trends, the rapidly growing older population will overwhelm the supply of geriatricians.
