I've been reading all the articles in the Daily Sun and went to most of the U.S.F. lectures and I have never heard that the clinics will be based on the Mayo & Cleveland clinics. Instead, what they
have been saying is that this is going to be something totally new.
Yes, doctors can well imagine that their patients will be somewhat older but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be part of the interview to see how they respond. There were other questions on the list where the answers could also be assumed but they still ask them to see how the applicant responds.
Do the Mayo & Cleavland clinics employ geriatricians? Maybe they do or maybe they don't, I don't know. But I'm asking about The Villages Clinics. Why has there never been any mention of hiring geriatricians?
