title: Encouraging geriatric medicine fellows to write review articles: a description of our experience.
abstract: Medical education in the United States develops many skills, but writing is not usually one of them. At the UCLA Multicampus Division of Geriatrics, we recently instituted a project that attempts to provide the opportunity for each of our Geriatric Medicine fellows to write and publish a review article. We report our experiences of the first 3 years of this program in an effort to share our successes, our shortcomings and our impressions.
