| Annotation | This article describes the incorporation of ageing-related research into a medical school curriculum through a summer fellowship programme in northeastern Ohio, United States (US). The geriatric office at a medical school designed the programme to increase the research orientation and skills of undergraduate medical students and provide them with a mentoring experience in the field of geriatrics. A survey of students and preceptors participating in the programme over an eleven-year period indicated a high level of acceptance of the programme by both students and faculty. Students perceived applications from their fellowship experience for both their practice with older people and their critical thinking about issues related to older patients. (AKM). |
