Comment on Saving the profession of geriatric medicine: No shortage of good ideas
The recommendations enumerated in the commentary from Dr. Gurwitz and Dr. Seligman, “Saving the Profession of Geriatric Medicine: No Shortage of Good Ideas,”1 are in alignment with long-standing American Geriatrics Society (AGS) priorities2 for achieving our mission and vision. We appreciate the citations to selected papers3-7 that have been published on this topic. We were surprised, however, to find that decades of work by AGS,8-19 individual geriatrics health professional leaders,20-23 and other organizations24-29 were not cited in the commentary. We are submitting this letter to ensure that readers of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (JAGS) have the historical context and knowledge of the work that AGS and others have done in service of advancing our collective vision for a future where all are able to maintain our health, safety, and independence as we age.
On a more personal note, we are inspired by the young people who are choosing a career in geriatrics.30 We appreciate your enthusiasm, energy, and talent and we believe the future of our field is bright. As always, we invite our AGS members to share ideas for new approaches that would help us to advance our priorities and achieve our vision via [email protected].

期刊介绍:
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (JAGS) is the go-to journal for clinical aging research. We provide a diverse, interprofessional community of healthcare professionals with the latest insights on geriatrics education, clinical practice, and public policy—all supporting the high-quality, person-centered care essential to our well-being as we age. Since the publication of our first edition in 1953, JAGS has remained one of the oldest and most impactful journals dedicated exclusively to gerontology and geriatrics.
