Abstract
For a survey of geriatric education in medical schools in the United States in 1983, data were received from one hundred schools. Increasing numbers of schools are providing required geriatric curriculum, and over 80 per cent of schools offer fourth-year electives. Ninety per cent of schools have physician faculty in geriatrics, affiliated with major departments, for an average of 2.5 full-time equivalents per school. Training sites are expanding to include many noninstitutional settings. Issues of curriculum content and impact, as well as faculty development, require further investigation.
