| Annotation | General internists will continue to provide an ever increasing focus on the care of older people, but this must be supported by an increase in the quality and quantity of geriatric specific training. General intern residencies' curriculum requires attention to the development of appropriate attitudes and skills necessary for the care of older patients. Promoting skills in effective communication and assessment is central to achieving success in this endeavour. This article outlines a model, whereby geriatricians act as supervisors, to integrate geriatric specific teaching into the overall curriculum. (RH). |
