Abstract

The Geriatric Psychiatry Fellowship Subspecialty survey aimed to identify key motivating factors associated with choosing geriatric psychiatry as a career, and to assess training satisfaction among geriatric psychiatry fellows/residents in Canada and the United States. American and Canadian geriatric psychiatry program directors were asked to distribute an online survey to their fellows. Descriptive statistics for quantitative items and Mann-Whitney U tests were performed to assess for differences by country of training. Thirty-one geriatric psychiatry fellows completed the survey. The most important motivating factors for pursuing a career in geriatric psychiatry were found to be "working with patients and families", "working in an interdisciplinary environment", and "intellectual stimulation". Fellows' overall training satisfaction was high, with American fellows more satisfied than Canadian residents (p = .047) on average, especially with regard to biomedical aspects of training (p = .01).

美国和加拿大老年精神病学研究员的亚专科选择和研究员培训满意度。

老年精神病学研究员亚专科调查旨在确定与选择老年精神病学作为职业相关的关键激励因素，并评估加拿大和美国老年精神病学研究员/住院医师对培训的满意度。研究人员要求美国和加拿大老年精神病学项目主任向其研究人员发放一份在线调查问卷。我们对定量项目进行了描述性统计，并进行了曼-惠特尼 U 检验，以评估不同培训国家之间的差异。31 名老年精神病学研究员完成了调查。调查发现，"与患者和家属一起工作"、"在跨学科环境中工作 "和 "智力刺激 "是激励学员投身老年精神病学事业的最重要因素。学员对培训的总体满意度很高，美国学员的满意度平均高于加拿大住院医师（p = .047），尤其是在培训的生物医学方面（p = .01）。

While we gratefully accept submissions from researchers outside our country, we are committed to encouraging aging research by Canadians. The CGJ is targeted to family physicians with training or an interest in the care of older persons, specialists in geriatric medicine, geriatric psychiatrists, and members of other health disciplines with a focus on gerontology.
