title: Professional development in law, health care, and aging: a model fellowship program.
abstract: There is a growing need for a strong core of professionals with the knowledge, skills, and sensitivities necessary to integrate the fields of law, health care, and gerontology. This article describes a unique professional development program that attempted to address this need by making it possible for a small number of recently graduated attorneys to observe, experience, and question on a firsthand level the provision of various forms of health care to older patients.
