[Teaching of geriatrics and gerontology at medical schools]

Analysis of goals and approaches in teaching geriatrics and gerontology for undergraduate medical students according to literature and personal 6 years experience. A proposal of "two module model" with introductory module of general gerontology in first years of studium (stress on communication, reflection of the elderly as human beings, their limitations, risks, and needs, lectures for medical students as well as for students of nursing, occupational therapy and so on to support team approach). Advanced module of "proper medical geriatrics" in late clinical years of studium (to stress atypical character of diseases, investigation, differential diagnosis and importance of acute care for elders units).
