Abstract
The authors present a codification of the experiences of 18 geropsychiatry fellowship programs in order to provide guidelines for the development and refined of new and existing programs. A majority of programs required rotations in seven areas: inpatient and outpatient geropsychiatry units, inpatient and outpatient liaison units, nursing home, community programs, and research. There was considerable variation in the number of these rotations that were required by each program. There were fewer differences between programs in the content of didactic seminars, type of supervision, and opportunities for teaching and administration. The implications of these findings for the development of a formal subspecialty in geriatric psychiatry are discussed.
