#FliptheScriptonAging: Healthcare We wouldn’t take our kids to doctors without pediatric training—so how did we end up with a healthcare system that overlooks the specific needs of older adults? At the ​⁠​⁠@americansocietyonaging6004 OnAging 2025 conference, Ken Dychtwald of ​⁠​⁠@AgeWave shared an unsettling statistic: 96% of medical schools require pediatric rotations. Only 10% require geriatric rotations As the #LongevityRevolution continues to build, the lack of geriatric training among healthcare professionals puts older adults at risk of misdiagnosis, overtreatment, and age-biased care.
