Physician satisfaction with career choices in geriatrics [published erratum appears in Gerontologist 1990 Dec;30(6):following Table of Contents]

AL Siu and JC Beck
UCLA Department of Medicine, Center for the Health Sciences.

In a national survey of fellows who had trained in geriatric medicine and psychiatry, the vast majority of former fellows expressed satisfaction with their current work. Satisfaction with a career choice in geriatrics was significantly greater among those physicians who had practices with large numbers of patients over 75, accepted Medicare assignment, spent their time as clinician-researchers, and had a medical school appointment. Physician job satisfaction may have important consequences, and attention to maximizing satisfaction is warranted.
