Abstract
Describes the geriatric interclerkship experience at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. After a morning of didactic sessions (large group and small group selectives) on a variety of geriatric topics, all third year medical students and participating graduate nursing students spend an afternoon at an assisted living site and conduct a life history and functional assessment during a one-on-one interview with an elder. Geriatrics clinical practitioners and assisted living staff co-facilitate small group discussions of the student experiences.
