[The role of private geriatricians in the health care system (2/2): comprehensive qualitative analysis using semi-structured interviews]. / Rôle des gériatres libéraux dans le système de santé (2/2) : analyse qualitative compréhensive par entretiens semi-dirigés.

Private geriatricians report heterogeneous practices, while the specialty as a whole is questioning its model. We conducted semi-structured interviews to understand how private geriatricians viewed their role in the health care system. They report a certain homogeneity in their conception of their role, which corresponds to that of geriatricians as a whole: there seems to be a professional identity for geriatrics.
