In an innovative program in geriatrics for undergraduate medical students, the preliminary report concerned attitudes toward the aged among health care personnel. This follow-up report concerns the stability of, and changes in medical students' attitudes toward the aged after participation in one of the following types of geriatric educational experience: 1) a Family Practice clerkship, or 2) a selective course in Medical Humanities. Although both experiences resulted in positive changes in general attitudes, the one that emphasized empathy toward the elderly along with observation of healthy aged persons produced more positive feelings about rehabilitation potential. Implications for the geriatric training of physicians are discussed in the light of these findings.
在一项针对本科医学生的老年医学创新项目中，初步报告关注的是医护人员对老年人的态度。这份后续报告关注的是医学生在参与以下类型的老年医学教育经历之一后，对老年人态度的稳定性及变化：1）家庭医疗实习，或2）医学人文学科选修课程。虽然两种经历都使总体态度产生了积极变化，但强调对老年人的同理心并观察健康老年人的那种经历，产生了对康复潜力更积极的看法。根据这些研究结果，讨论了对医生进行老年医学培训的意义。
