Page 16: Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Fellow Recruitment Kevin Foley, MD David Sandvik, MD James Campbell, MD

Summary

Over the past 5 years

• The numbers fellows in first year positions, positions available, and fellows completing training have remained fairly constant.

• The number of fellows in the second year of training and beyond has decreased.

• Program directors have turned over at an increasing rate, possibly due to retirement.

Page 17: Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Fellow Recruitment Kevin Foley, MD David Sandvik, MD James Campbell, MD

Summary

• For geriatricians certified prior to the fellowship eligibility requirement, first re-certification rates are lower when compared to those after 1994.

• Second re-certification rates are very low.

• Of all geriatricians who were required to complete fellowship training, only 63% have re-certified for the first time (55% for 2004).

Page 18: Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Fellow Recruitment Kevin Foley, MD David Sandvik, MD James Campbell, MD

Summary

• There are now 6,256 certified geriatricians, the lowest number since 1994.

• The current influx of fellows is not enough to counterbalance the harmful effect on our ranks of low recertification rates.

• The number of certified geriatricians could fall below 6,000 by 2019.

Page 19: Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Fellow Recruitment Kevin Foley, MD David Sandvik, MD James Campbell, MD

Summary

If new methods of recruiting trainees into geriatrics fellowship programs are not considered, the number of geriatricians will probably continue to decline and lead to a further increase in the shortage of geriatric medicine clinicians and educators.

The alternative pathway to certification is one of those methods.

USD SSOM Recruitment History Part-time track initiated for practicing physicians

– Word-of-mouth advertising • One completed application withdrawn before starting • One rural physician without FM or IM residency

(unqualified for accredited track)

– Recruitment letter to supporting health system• Four inquiries• Two hospitalists part-time fellows• One physician boarded in two non-FM/IM specialties

(unqualified)

– One mid-career applicant accepted in Nov. 2014

– Other physicians have expressed interest

Page 29: Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Fellow Recruitment Kevin Foley, MD David Sandvik, MD James Campbell, MD

Evidence that Practicing physicians Will Pursue Geriatrics

1. Geriatrics Board Certification History

2. Survey of Arizona Physicians

3. AMDA’s Certified Medical Director (CMD)/American Board of Post Acute and Long Term Care (ABPLM) Numbers

4. USD SSOM Recruitment Experience

Page 30: Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Fellow Recruitment Kevin Foley, MD David Sandvik, MD James Campbell, MD

Motives for Practicing and Mid-Career Physicians to Pursue Geriatrics Training

• Desire to change practice style: burnout, etc.

• Desire for professional development and prestige: Confirmed in Abyad study (40%)

• Desire to improved the quality of care for older patients

Page 31: Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Fellow Recruitment Kevin Foley, MD David Sandvik, MD James Campbell, MD

Objectives

1. Review evidence that mid-career and practicing physicians are interested in geriatrics training.

2. Review why training mid-career and practicing physicians is a good idea for fellowships and the specialty of geriatrics.

Page 32: Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Fellow Recruitment Kevin Foley, MD David Sandvik, MD James Campbell, MD

Training Mid-Career and Practicing Physicians is Good for Fellowships

• Fellowship curriculum must remain highly relevant

• New pathway into geriatrics for US graduates– Many become hospitalists

– Many begin practice for financial and social reasons

• Educational debt

• Starting families

– They could consider a part-time program

Page 33: Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Fellow Recruitment Kevin Foley, MD David Sandvik, MD James Campbell, MD

Training Mid-Career and Practicing Physicians is Good for Geriatrics

• Part-time pathways could be built into all fellowships

• Provide improved care of older patients in existing clinical sites, since trainees continue in current practices

• Increase the visibility of the specialty of geriatrics

Page 34: Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Fellow Recruitment Kevin Foley, MD David Sandvik, MD James Campbell, MD

Objectives

1. Review evidence that mid-career and practicing physicians are interested in geriatrics training.

2. Review why training mid-career and practicing physicians is a good idea for fellowships and the specialty of geriatrics.

3. Review logistic barriers to training mid-career and part-time practicing fellows and solutions.

Page 35: Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Fellow Recruitment Kevin Foley, MD David Sandvik, MD James Campbell, MD

Logistical Barriers and Solutions to Training Practicing Fellows

• Relevance of education– Adult Learning methodology– Training is more of a collaboration– Solicit referrals from local Alzheimer’s Associations– Arrange outreach consultation days at nursing

homes to see patients on antipsychotics, etc.

• Develop novel educational experiences– Nursing home night call added for weeks when

fellows come off night call and miss a half day. Counted as less than hour-for-hour daytime learning experiences, but counted

Page 36: Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Fellow Recruitment Kevin Foley, MD David Sandvik, MD James Campbell, MD

Logistical Barriers and Solutions to Training Practicing Fellows

• Definition of part-time pathway: 2000 hours of approved education

• Schedules– Start training when the physician is ready– Every-other month or week?

• Location– Utilize physician’s personal practice for continuity clinics,

nursing home panels and rotations: Send a roving faculty member to attend experiences

– Develop distance learning technology seldom used in GME

– Develop distant rotations with local geriatricians (multi-campus model fellowship)

Page 37: Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Fellow Recruitment Kevin Foley, MD David Sandvik, MD James Campbell, MD

Objectives

1. Review evidence that mid-career and practicing physicians are interested in geriatrics training.

2. Review why training mid-career and practicing physicians is a good idea for fellowships and the specialty of geriatrics.

3. Review logistic barriers to training mid-career and part-time practicing fellows and solutions.

4. Suggest new sources of geriatrics-trained physicians.

Page 38: Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Fellow Recruitment Kevin Foley, MD David Sandvik, MD James Campbell, MD

Sources of Geriatric-Trained PhysiciansI

• Traditional post-residency pathway

• Mid-career and practicing physician pathway

• Start more convenient, local fellowships

– None of our past or current fellows would have moved away for a one-year fellowship, then returned

– Satellite fellowships model (Michigan)

– Multi-campus model (South Dakota)

Page 39: Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Fellow Recruitment Kevin Foley, MD David Sandvik, MD James Campbell, MD

Sources of Geriatric-Trained PhysiciansII

• Non-family/internal medicine-trained physicians (PM&R, Surg., Occupational Med.,etc.)– Train in a para-ACGME-accredited

pathway– “Board certification” would require

changes in board-eligibility

• Recertification of geriatricians who have allowed certification to lapse?

Page 40: Complementary and Alternative Approaches to Fellow Recruitment Kevin Foley, MD David Sandvik, MD James Campbell, MD

Sources of Geriatric-Trained PhysiciansIII

• Convince health systems of the value of geriatrics and geriatricians – Concentrate on services requiring geriatrician

such as patient discharges to SNF units– Systems might send their physicians for

training– Systems might provide stipends– Two of our four graduates are Directors of

Geriatric Services in health systems that had no geriatric services
