To evaluate the success of a mid-career physicians faculty retraining in geriatric medicine.
Written survey of participants in the John Hartford Foundation's Mid-Career Faculty Development Program (1984-1988).
Four well established geriatric fellowship training programs.
The 29 physicians who received John Hartford Foundation awards.
Twenty-one (87%) of 24 respondents felt that the fellowship year had either a "major" or "significant" impact on their careers, and 87% also spend a significant portion of their time training others in geriatrics.
This 4-year experiment in mid-career faculty retraining in geriatrics suggests that this approach is a viable alternative to traditional 2-year fellowships for helping to reduce the shortage of faculty in geriatric medicine.
评估中年医生老年医学师资再培训的成效。
对约翰·哈特福德基金会的中年师资发展项目（1984 - 1988年）参与者进行书面调查。
四个成熟的老年医学 fellowship 培训项目。
29名获得约翰·哈特福德基金会奖项的医生。
24名受访者中有21名（87%）认为 fellowship 年对他们的职业生涯有“重大”或“显著”影响，并且87%的人还将大量时间用于培训他人老年医学知识。
这项为期4年的中年老年医学师资再培训实验表明，这种方法是传统2年 fellowship 的可行替代方案，有助于减少老年医学师资短缺的问题。
