    Summary

    This study found that a new geriatrics curriculum improved medical students' knowledge but did not change their attitudes toward the elderly. Implementation factors for new medical curricula were also identified.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Geriatric Medicine
    • Curriculum Development

    Background:

    • Medical education requires effective geriatrics training.
    • Assessing curriculum impact on knowledge and attitudes is crucial.
    • Implementing new educational modules presents challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a case-based, problem-oriented, modular geriatrics curriculum for medical students.
    • To assess cognitive knowledge gain and attitude changes toward the elderly.
    • To identify factors facilitating curriculum implementation.

    Main Methods:

    • A modular geriatrics curriculum was implemented and evaluated.
    • Cognitive knowledge and attitudes toward the elderly were measured.
    • Student ratings of learning activities and institutional factors were assessed via questionnaires and site visits.

    Main Results:

    • Statistically significant gains in cognitive knowledge of geriatrics were observed.
    • No significant change in students' attitudes toward the elderly was found.
    • Clinical learning activities involving the elderly were rated positively, but infrequently offered.

    Conclusions:

    • The modular curriculum effectively enhanced medical students' geriatric knowledge.
    • Curriculum changes alone did not improve attitudes toward the elderly.
    • Institutional characteristics and specific learning activities influence curriculum implementation success.
