brady23 Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 What is the difference between pursuing geriatrics through the 2+1 route in family medicine vs. 5 years through internal medicine? For example, through the "Care of the Elderly" 2+1 route, would you still be able to work in a geriatric clinic at the hospital? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle_MD Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 I am definitely interested in hearing more about CoE vs Geriatrics as I am debating the FM vs Internal route to geriatrics. Do both paths have good outlooks in terms of jobs? Can anyone comment on their journey to geriatrics in internal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralk Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'm not too knowledgeable about the career path myself, but a few years back, our student journal published an interview with a Geriatrician who touches on the distinction - take a look here. From what I hear the job market is still excellent for both the 2+1 COE and Geriatric paths and look likely to stay that way for some time. I believe COE graduates can still do hospital-based geriatric work, but I'm uncertain as to how much opportunity there is for that now, or in the near future, or whether those opportunities change based on location.
