    Few US medical schools require geriatrics training. Southern Illinois University School of Medicine implemented a mandatory geriatrics program within its family practice clerkship, adapting the curriculum based on feedback and practical challenges.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Geriatric Medicine

    Background:

    • Limited mandatory geriatrics training exists for medical students in the US.
    • Geriatric care is crucial for an aging population.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the development and implementation of a compulsory geriatrics program for medical students.
    • To outline curriculum modifications based on feedback and identified challenges.

    Main Methods:

    • Integration of a geriatrics program into the undergraduate family practice clerkship.
    • Iterative curriculum refinement based on student, faculty, and patient input.
    • Analysis of practical implementation issues and adjustments to educational objectives.

    Main Results:

    • A compulsory geriatrics training program was successfully established.
