Description
Nancy Kusmaul, writing solo, argues that ageing care must be woven into all health training rather than left as a rare specialty, in a 2023 policy paper. Fewer than five percent of physicians choose geriatrics, and the shares in social work and nursing are smaller still. Yet older adults fill the caseloads of nearly every field, and shortages in their mental health care are severe.
Fifteen years of small gains have not kept pace with population ageing. The paper, written with a professional section, weighs policy levers to grow gerontology content in nursing, medicine, and social work programs, and where educator groups can help.
