Working in Geriatric Psychiatry
Geriatric psychiatry is on the cutting edge of the revolution in the biomedical sciences. It offers rich opportunities for research in geriatric mood disorders, dementia, delirium, anxiety disorders, late-life psychotic disorders, and health services. Approaches range from studying the implementation of psychosocial therapies to translational biomedical research studying genetic and biochemical factors associated with geriatric mood disorders.
Career Satisfaction
"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."
