Family physician geriatricians do mostly geriatric care: is this a problem for our specialty? 2015 Author(s) Brummel-Smith, K Topic(s) What Family Physicians Do Keyword(s) Geriatric Care, and Policy Brief Commentaries Volume Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine Source Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine In this issue, Peterson et al1 report that the majority of family physicians with Certificates of Added Qualifications (CAQs) in Geriatrics self-report practicing primarily geriatrics. Almost 40% of those surveyed reported spending >80% of their time devoted to geriatric patients. Another 20% reported spending 60% to 80% of their time with older patients. These figures raise many more questions than are answered by the data. Are these percentages different from the amount of time family physicians with other types of CAQs spend in their practices? Are family physician geriatricians a different “breed” than those who practice across a broader age spectrum? How is the “silver tsunami” affecting decisions of physicians with geriatric CAQs regarding the allocation of time within their practice? Could it be that many family physician geriatricians are simply getting older and seeing their practice age with them? Perhaps most controversial is whether this degree of “specialization” is inherently harmful to the discipline of family medicine.
