Objectives : Korea faces a number of challenges to meet
demands in the area of geriatric professional medicine in a
country with a rapidly ageing population. We evaluated the
satisfaction and feasibility of the current education
certification for geriatric physicians.
Methods : Geriatric physicians who were deemed
qualified by the Korean Geriatrics Society during the period
of 2001 to 2005 (n=2,200) were asked to complete
structured questionnaires sent to them by mail about their
satisfaction of and need for certificates of education, as
well as their opinions on their geriatric specialty training. A
total of 419 physicians responded. Descriptive analysis and
hierarchical regression were performed to rate the
respondentsPsatisfaction, the characteristics of the need
for clarity and utility in education certification, and the
characteristics of their patients.
Results : Although most respondents were satisfied with
their education certification, those who had more elderly
patients, aged 65 or older, and those who had more
cognitively impaired patients, rated their education as
significantly lower than did other physicians. Both groups
expressed the need for more the comprehensive care and
assessment concerning of their education. Multiple
regression analysis indicated that satisfaction with geriatric
physician qualification was associated with a physician's
age, specialty, and percentage of elderly patients.
Conclusions : This study suggests that the current
system of education certification is limited in terms of
feasibility and physician satisfaction.
