- Title
Life-Course Reflections on a Career in Aging.
- Authors
Lichtenberg, Peter A.
- Abstract
This article integrates my professional journey of practice, research, and administration with a reflection on how the field of gerontology has changed across 35 years and how the healthcare industry responded to the growing numbers of older adults. Paradoxically, while the field of gerontology has become more multidisciplinary and integrative, the number of specialists in gerontology across all health fields has declined or remained at very low levels. Research on aging, however, continues to grow. The lessons of working with older adults have long been a part of my personal journey; a gift to me and others.
