Encouraging geriatric medicine fellows to write review articles: a description of our experience.

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.
