越来越多的美国老年人和越来越长的寿命所造成的迫切需要，使美国医学界认识到并接受，从医学院到研究生培训再到继续医学教育，必须包括老龄和老年病学方面的适当知识和技能，以便为老年人提供有效的照顾。这种教育和培训不仅对传统的初级保健提供者是必要的，而且对专科医生也是必要的，包括大多数外科专科医生和麻醉、急诊医学、物理医学和康复等相关领域的医生。为了满足这一需求，美国老年病学会老年病专科倡议建立了老年专科住院医师教育计划（GSR）。本文回顾了GSR创建一个充满活力的老年外科教育者和研究人员队列的过程，这些教育者和研究人员反过来又创建了一个充满活力的教育工具和科学工作体，继续推进改善老年人医疗保健的事业。
The imperative created by increasing numbers of aging Americans coupled with increasing longevity has generated recognition and acceptance within american medicine that education, from medical school through postgraduate training through continuing medical education, must include appropriate knowledge and skills in aging and geriatrics to provide for effective care of older adults. Such education and training is necessary not only for traditional primary care providers, but also for specialty physicians, including those in most surgical specialties and in related fields such as anesthesiology, emergency medicine and physical medicine and rehabilitation. To fill this demand, the American Geriatrics Society Geriatrics for Specialist Initiative established the Geriatrics Education for Specialty Residents Program (GSR). This article reviews the process by which the GSR created a dynamic cohort of geriatric surgical educators and researchers who in turn created a vibrant body of educational tools and scientific works that continue to advance the cause of improving medical care of older adults.
