Our aim was to identify and describe the presence of U.S. geriatric medicine fellowship programs on X.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n We identified all U.S. geriatric medicine fellowship programs using FREIDA, and then located their X accounts through a stepwise process. Data were collected on account creation, number of followers, posts, and activity level, with an analysis of the last 100 posts from the most active accounts. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Among the 147 geriatric medicine fellowship programs identified, 38 (25.9%) had an X account. The majority of accounts were created after the start of the pandemic, reflecting likely the adaptation to virtual recruitment processes. Only a few accounts generated the majority of posts and followers. The accounts primarily posted or reposted educational content, research highlights, and promotional material.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n The use of X by geriatric medicine programs is still significantly underutilized, with only one\u2010fourth of them having an account. Half of the accounts were created after the COVID\u201019 pandemic began. Programs should focus on building a robust social media presence to increase their visibility, especially as virtual interviews have become a permanent part of recruitment.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jgs.19338","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,27]],"date-time":"2024-12-27T10:52:49Z","timestamp":1735296769000},"page":"1857-1862","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Can We Improve Geriatrics Recruitment?
