Abstract

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 papers^3-7 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 organizations^24-29 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].

就拯救老年医学专业发表评论：不乏好点子

Gurwitz 博士和 Seligman 博士的评论文章 "拯救老年医学专业：不乏好点子 "1 与美国老年医学会（AGS）长期以来为实现我们的使命和愿景而优先考虑的事项2 一致。我们对引用已发表的有关这一主题的论文3-7 表示赞赏。然而，我们惊讶地发现，评论中并未引用 AGS、8-19 老年医学专业领导人20-23 以及其他组织24-29 数十年来所做的工作。我们提交这封信是为了确保《美国老年医学会杂志》（JAGS）的读者能够了解历史背景和知识，了解 AGS 和其他组织为推进我们的集体愿景所做的工作，即在未来，所有人都能够在年老时保持健康、安全和独立。我们一如既往地邀请 AGS 成员通过 [email protected] 分享有助于我们推进工作重点和实现愿景的新方法。

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.
