Abstract
As the urgency for services and programs increases over the next quarter century, geriatrics will become an acceptable, highly developed specialty, and geriatric education in medical schools will expand to match the progress in undergraduate programs in gerontology, providing more qualified physicians fully trained in the diagnosis and care of older people. In turn, subspecialties such as geriatric cardiology, geriatric endrocrinology, and geriatric psychology will develop. Such specialties and programs will be more necessary to make best use of monies allocated for the health needs of older people.
