Brown Medical School developed a comprehensive curriculum in which enriched aging content increased from 22 to 80 hours in preclerkship courses and was also added for clerkships, residencies, and nongeriatrician physicians. Innovative evaluation strategies are also described. Highlights include "treasure hunts" in the anatomy laboratory, a Scholarly Concentration in Aging, Schwartz Communication Sessions, a Website of aging-related materials, and a monthly column in the state medical journal. Evaluation includes "tracking" to compute the "dose" of aging content, and "journaling" and focus groups to evaluate students' responses. Integrating geriatrics across a broad range of courses and clinical experiences is feasible.
布朗医学院制定了一项全面的课程计划，其中在预科课程中，丰富的衰老相关内容从22小时增加到了80小时，并且在临床实习、住院医师培训以及非老年医学医生的培训中也增加了相关内容。文中还描述了创新的评估策略。亮点包括解剖实验室的“寻宝”活动、衰老研究方向、施瓦茨交流课程、一个与衰老相关材料的网站以及州医学杂志上的月度专栏。评估包括用于计算衰老内容“剂量”的“追踪”，以及用于评估学生反应的“日志记录”和焦点小组。将老年医学整合到广泛的课程和临床经验中是可行的。
