Resumen

BRASIL, Vitor Jorge Woytuski  y  BATISTA, Nildo Alves. Teaching of Geriatrics and Gerontology at Medical School. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2015, vol.39, n.3, pp.344-351. ISSN 1981-5271.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1981-52712015v39n3e01052013.

This study highlights relevant aspects for teaching Geriatrics and Gerontology at Brazilian medical schools in accordance with current literature on the subject and on dialogues with Geriatrics teachers. We focus on academic insertion of geriatrics and gerontology as a form of gradually bringing schools more in touch with the aging process and its social-medical consequences. We therefore emphasize the use of real interdisciplinary actions that cross through all the years of the medical course and integrate it with other specialties. The expansion and diversification of formal learning scenarios, as well as the concern with teacher training and qualification in this area, have been identified as essential pillars for preparing professionals who can adequately meet the health needs of the elderly population in the coming decades.

Palabras clave : Curriculum; Medical Education; Geriatrics.
