This @JAMA_current news article by @Emily_C_Harris summarizes the state of #geriatrics in medical education - there is not nearly enough!
However, new innovations and healthcare system adaptions (such as the 4M frameworks) may improve the landscape & ultimately lead to better outcomes for older adults.

I interviewed Dr. Butte for an article on LLMs and adored him within the first 30 seconds of our conversation - he was genuine, funny, open, and, as everyone notes, super smart. Such a tremendous loss.
Atul Butte, MD, PhD, helped define the field of translational bioinformatics and inspired countless colleagues and trainees.
He will be remembered for his brilliant mind, infectious optimism, generous mentorship.

My final Medical News in Briefs (the last of 600+!) were published today @JAMA_current. A lot's happened in that time: we've continued living w/ COVID, started to learn about the effects of overturning Roe, and watched the rise of AI in medicine.

It's been an honor to keep our readers up-to-date on the latest in health care, a privilege to learn from some of the best editors (@jenabbasi, @lindarodgers86, Becky Voelker, @PreetiNMalani), and a personal joy to cover medicine's progress and setbacks.

Viewpoint: author Jerry Gurwitz discusses the attrition of geriatric medicine as a profession, attributing it in part to societal attitudes about aging and compounded by the negative effects of lower compensation and lack of career prestige. ja.ma/3Ehw2AY
