For a survey of geriatric education in medical schools in the United States in 1983, data were received from one hundred schools. Increasing numbers of schools are providing required geriatric curriculum, and over 80 per cent of schools offer fourth-year electives. Ninety per cent of schools have physician faculty in geriatrics, affiliated with major departments, for an average of 2.5 full-time equivalents per school. Training sites are expanding to include many noninstitutional settings. Issues of curriculum content and impact, as well as faculty development, require further investigation.
为了对1983年美国医学院校的老年医学教育进行一项调查，从100所学校收集了数据。越来越多的学校正在提供规定的老年医学课程，超过80%的学校提供四年级选修课。90%的学校有隶属于主要科室的老年医学医师教员，每所学校平均有2.5个全职等效人员。培训地点正在扩大，包括许多非机构环境。课程内容和影响问题以及教员发展问题需要进一步调查。
