Abstract
It is the premise of this paper that certain instructional interventions in the medical school behavioral science curriculum will eventually improve the health care received by elderly patients. Four content areas for such intervention are reviewed: patient adherence to medication regimens, risk and management of psychosocial stress, responses to chronic illness, and doctor-patient communication patterns. The final section describes research that supports the long-term efficacy of such curricular interventions.
