According to medicalnewstoday.com in an article titled: Urgent Changes Needed to Prepare Doctors to Care for Aging America, medical training policies are reviewed for the increase of the quality of training the doctors have.

But what are these changes in particular? Still according to the article:

“To ensure a better trained physician workforce as the demand for geriatric care swells and the number of geriatric specialists shrinks, policy options proposed by the authors include:

·    Increasing funding for geriatrics in medical schools

·    Leveraging Medicare’s educational subsidy to strengthen geriatrics in residency and fellowship programs

·    Requiring practicing physicians to complete geriatric continuing education credits in order to maintain their state licensures and Medicaid provider certifications”.

This alert has been conducted with the aging population of the baby boomers. With some studies show that most of the population that require health care are mostly from this generation.
