The document discusses the shortage of healthcare professionals trained in geriatric care in the United States and proposes policy options to address this issue. It notes that the older adult population is rapidly growing but the number of doctors specializing in geriatric care is not keeping pace. The Geriatric Workforce Improvement Act is proposed to increase funding for programs that would expand geriatric training and care integration. Additional recommendations include increasing public education programs on aging issues and informing more students about career opportunities in geriatric healthcare.
