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

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 1 st year positions more than doubled over last decade

Summary (II) USMDs filling 1 st year positions peaked at 167 in and declined to 75 in 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.
