Characteristics of family physicians with additional training or focused practices in caring for older adults
The FP workforce with additional training or focused practices in caring for older patients represents a small but specialized group of providers who contribute a portion of the total primary care activities for older adults. Health human resource planning should consider the contributions of all FPs who care for older adults, and enhancing geriatric competence across the family medicine workforce should be emphasized.
