To describe the experience of a Brazilian medical school in implementing different active methods to teach Geriatric Medicine, reporting the students' opinions and satisfaction with the classes and comparing pre- and postcourse measurements of knowledge, attitudes and skills.
A total of 166 third-year medical students received different active theoretical-practical activities for teaching Geriatric Medicine and their knowledge, attitudes, clinical skills and satisfaction were investigated.
All activities had good acceptance among students ranging from 8.54 in the activity "Walking aids" to 9.81 in the activity "Nursing Home visit" (ranging 0-10). After the course, students had better attitudes towards older persons (r = 0.55-0.81, P < 0.001), better knowledge (r = 0.84, P < 0.001), greater empathy (r = 0.51, P < 0.001) and better clinical skills (r = 0.86, P < 0.001). Finally, the course was evaluated positively by the students.
New active Geriatric Medicine learning activities resulted in improvement in medical students knowledge, attitudes and skills.
描述一所巴西医学院校实施不同的主动式老年医学教学方法的经验，报告学生对课程的意见和满意度，并比较课程前后学生在知识、态度和技能方面的测评结果。
共有166名三年级医学生接受了不同的主动式理论-实践活动以进行老年医学教学，并对他们的知识、态度、临床技能和满意度进行了调查。
所有活动在学生中都获得了良好的接受度，从“助行器”活动中的8.54分（满分0-10分）到“养老院参观”活动中的9.81分。课程结束后，学生对老年人的态度更好（r = 0.55 - 0.81，P < 0.001），知识更丰富（r = 0.84，P < 0.001），同理心更强（r = 0.51，P < 0.001），临床技能也更好（r = 0.86，P < 0.001）。最后，学生对该课程给予了积极评价。
新型主动式老年医学学习活动使医学生在知识、态度和技能方面得到了提升。
