I've recently been contemplating going into geriatric fellowship, primarily due to the concern that we will be inundated with "baby boomers" in the ED...in fact it seems there are already centennials appearing more often than not in the ED. I'm considering community medicine and maybe eventually academic, but I don't want to be pigeon-holed into only geriatrics/geriatric ED facility. Would it be possible to head a geriatric ED and work at a non-geriatric ED?
What kind of job opportunities would this type of fellowship open (in a non-academic setting)?
For those physicians who have already been in practice, do you think this realm of info would truly be useful?
I know there are very few EM geriatric fellowship programs in the country, information seems a bit scarce, so I would appreciate any and all perceptions on the topic.
Thanks for your help on this very un-sexy realm of EM.
