Can We Improve Geriatrics Recruitment? An Analysis of U.S. Geriatrics Fellowship Programs on X

The use of X by geriatric medicine programs is still significantly underutilized, with only one-fourth of them having an account. Half of the accounts were created after the COVID-19 pandemic began. Programs should focus on building a robust social media presence to increase their visibility, especially as virtual interviews have become a permanent part of recruitment.

Abstract

The use of X by geriatric medicine programs is still significantly underutilized, with only one-fourth of them having an account. Half of the accounts were created after the COVID-19 pandemic began. Programs should focus on building a robust social media presence to increase their visibility, especially as virtual interviews have become a permanent part of recruitment.
