Abstract

The education of physicians and other health personnel in a medical center for the care of the elderly is intimately linked with the provisions for the delivery of health care within the center. The educational process is not limited to the school of medicine or other academic components but includes internship and residency programs. Aging is of concern to almost all teaching departments of the school of medicine and an isolated department of geriatrics cannot provide medical students with all the information they require. This demands the cooperation of the specialties.
