TY - GEN AB - The United States population is rapidly aging. The population age 65 and older increased from 39.6 million in 2009 to 54.1 million in 2019 (a 36% increase) and is projected to reach 94.7 million in 2060. The 85 and older population is projected to more than double from 6.6 million in 2019 to 14.4 million in 2040 (a 118% increase). This aging population is more likely to experience multiple comorbidities that result in frailty, falls, dementia, and other geriatric syndromes. Palliative care is a specialty focused on symptom management and assessing goals of care for seriously ill adults, and will frequently see older adults, but has limited training and exposure in basic geriatrics training. The purpose of this project is to Determine whether palliative care physician fellows receive training in geriatrics principles to equip them for taking care of seriously ill older adults.
