    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric Medicine Education
    • Medical School Curriculum

    Background:

    • Geriatric medicine is a crucial specialty with an aging population.
    • Understanding student exposure to geriatrics is vital for future workforce planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the prevalence of geriatric medicine electives and topic/project work among UK medical students.
    • To quantify student engagement in geriatric medicine during their studies.

    Main Methods:

    • A postal survey was distributed to medical schools across the United Kingdom.
    • Response rate was 80% of surveyed institutions.
    • Data collected on student participation in geriatric medicine electives and topic/project work.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Approximately 50% of responding medical schools reported at least one student undertaking a geriatric medicine elective in the prior year.
  • Topic/project work opportunities in geriatric medicine were available in nearly all schools.
  • In half of the schools offering topic work, it was undertaken by some or all students.

    • Conclusions:

    • Geriatric medicine electives are accessible to students in about half of UK medical schools.
    • Opportunities for topic/project work in geriatric medicine are widespread, with significant student participation in many institutions.
    • Further efforts may be needed to increase elective participation and ensure consistent engagement with geriatric medicine topics.
