Abstract
This article describes the incorporation of aging-related research into a medical school curriculum through a summer fellowship program. The geriatric office at a medical school designed the program 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 program over an eleven-year period indicated a high level of acceptance of the program by both students and faculty. Students perceived applications from their fellowship experience for both their practice with the elderly and their critical thinking about issues related to older patients. The program served to stimulate interest in research and introduced undergraduate medical students to the research/scholar role of the physician.
