The authors of this article have missed one fundamental difference in their source information for this comparison. This is the fact that Geriatricians are sub-specialists of internal medicine and have to ALSO have met the core competencies for Internal Medicine and the Care of the Elderly physicians for family medicine. Thus a full comparison of scope of practice should review the objectives of the base training as well.
