Introduction The ageing population means all doctors, regardless of specialty, will need knowledge, skills, and attitudes to care for older people with complex health conditions. An essential component of preparing the medical workforce to best care for older people is by including teaching on ageing and geriatric medicine in undergraduate medical curricula. Here we present results of the British Geriatrics Society (BGS) national curriculum survey 2021–22, highlighting progress made in undergraduate teaching in geriatric medicine. Methods All 35 UK GMC-registered medical schools at the time of data collection were invited to participate in an online survey on content, methodology, timing, and duration of teaching in ageing and geriatric medicine. The survey was structured around the 2013 BGS recommended undergraduate curriculum, for consistency with previous surveys. Results 30/35 of UK medical schools responded (83% response rate). Most teaching occurred in the fourth year of study (21/30, 70%). The majority (15/30, 50%) reported a discrete module for geriatric medicine lasting 4–8 weeks, an increase on previous surveys. However, several programmes have reduced the amount of in-person teaching since the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, three schools reported geriatric medicine exposure lasting >12 weeks. Of these, two were integrated clerkships and one a dedicated geriatric medicine module. There is increasing focus on multidisciplinary education, with emphasis on combining virtual or simulated teaching with other healthcare professions (n = 7). Every school (n = 30) taught at least one topic as small-group or case-based learning. Conclusion There is a trend towards increasing exposure to geriatric medicine compared to previous surveys in 2008 and 2013. However, several of the programmes reporting greater exposure incorporate geriatric medicine in an integrated clerkship rather than as a dedicated module. Programmes demonstrated a move from didactic teaching towards small-group and case-based learning, employing a wider variety of assessment methods than previous.

2224 我们向英国医学生传授了哪些关于老龄化的知识？第三次 BGS 全国课程调查结果


引言人口老龄化意味着所有医生，无论专业如何，都需要知识、技能和态度来照顾患有复杂健康状况的老年人。让医务人员为老年人提供最佳护理的准备的一个重要组成部分是将老龄化和老年医学教学纳入本科医学课程。在这里，我们展示了 2021-22 年英国老年医学会 （BGS） 全国课程调查的结果，突出了老年医学本科教学取得的进展。方法 在数据收集时，所有 35 所英国 GMC 注册的医学院都被邀请参加一项关于老龄化和老年医学教学内容、方法、时间和持续时间的在线调查。该调查围绕 2013 年 BGS 推荐的本科课程进行，与之前的调查保持一致。结果 30/35 的英国医学院做出了回应（83% 的回应率）。大多数教学发生在学习的第四年 （21/30， 70%）。大多数 （15/30， 50%） 报告了持续 4-8 周的老年医学离散模块，比之前的调查有所增加。然而，自 COVID-19 大流行以来，一些课程减少了面对面教学的数量。值得注意的是，三所学校报告了持续 >12 周的老年医学暴露。其中，两个是综合见习，一个是专门的老年医学模块。人们越来越关注多学科教育，强调将虚拟或模拟教学与其他医疗保健专业相结合 （n = 7）。每所学校 （n = 30） 至少教授一个主题作为小组或基于案例的学习。结论与 2008 年和 2013 年的先前调查相比，老年医学的接触率有增加的趋势。 然而，一些报告更大接触率的计划将老年医学纳入综合见习，而不是作为一个专门的模块。课程展示了从说教式教学转向小组和基于案例的学习，采用了比以前更广泛的评估方法。
