Clinical thinking ability construction of geriatric medicine professional degree graduate students / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Professional postgraduates in geriatric medicine are one of the most important re-courses of geriatric specialists. However, training model for geriatric postgraduates is still unclear in China. In general, geriatric medicine has no independent training plan, and is included in internal medicine training. Such model cannot represent the feature of geriatric medicine. The present paper aimed to discuss the ability construction for geriatric postgraduates based on the geriatric medicine specialist training experience both at home and abroad, including diagnosis and treatment of multi-system diseases, ability of geriatric assessment, management of geriatric syndromes, consultation for geriatric rehabilitation and ability for continuity health service in order to cultivate the compound tal-ents suitable for the aging society requirement for geriatric medicine in China.
