Integrating geriatrics into the subspecialties of internal medicine: the Hartford Foundation/American Geriatrics Society/Wake Forest University Bowman Gray School of Medicine Initiative.

Hazzard WR1, Woolard N, Regenstreif DI.

For nearly two decades the John A.  Hartford Foundation has supported education and training in geriatric medi- cine as part of a broad program in health care of older adults to address the American  demographic imperative of a pro- gressively aging population. This has included strong empha- sis on faculty development in geriatrics, from year-long mid- career retraining fellowships  in  the 1980s to  the  present program of prestigious,  highly competitive, 3-year early fac- ulty fellowships named for Paul Beeson, a pioneer in geriatric academic leadership, during the past 20 years. Also featured as part of the Hartford program have been special initiatives targeted at attracting medical students to careers in geriatrics and  focused  efforts  to  enrich  residency  programs,  board certification examinations, and faculty capacity in geriatrics in  internal  medicine,  anesthesiology,  emergency  medicine, and obstetrics and gynecology, among others.
