Abstract
There has recently been an increase in educational programs and materials in geriatrics, but their quality and content have not been adequately assessed. This study concerns important objectives and core contents in geriatric education, with a review of training programs, books, and audiovisual materials. Specific areas of need for printed and audiovisual materials are identified. Medical student and graduate level programs were found to address relatively few objectives. Geriatric fellowship programs, although having more extensive coverage, had some notable deficiencies. This information may be of use to those conducting training programs or preparing educational material in geriatrics.
