Abstract
The number of geriatric patients with major psychiatric disorders is expected to grow along with the rising proportion of people age 65 and older. Despite recognition of this growth and increases in the training of geropsychiatrists, the supply of specialists is unlikely to keep up with the demand. The authors argue for greater resource expenditure in fellowship programs and a focus on training academic leaders to serve as role models for general psychiatrists and other primary care givers.
