There is an increase in geriatric population and the elderly people suffer from dual medical problems, i.e., both communicable as well as non-communicable diseases. There is deficiency felt in undergraduate geriatric training in spite of the longitudinal coverage of most of the content areas and a need for well trained interdisciplinary care of older persons. Geriatrics in India is in a nascent stage and is not encouraged as a practice. The present study was undertaken to see the Competency of a Graduate after Doing MBBS in Practising Geriatrics Medicine. 50 participants, (ten faculty members, 18 residents and 22 interns) were asked to fill in a questionnaire to assess the basic knowledge and level of competency regarding geriatric population and perception regarding geriatrics medicines. Majority of participants felt the need for specialist training programmes for geriatric medicine and special short module for day to day practice. The majority of participants were either quiet competent to a little bit competent in dealing with geriatric medicines or the interns found them quite incompetent in dealing with geriatric patients. Most of the participants felt the need of specialist training programmes for geriatric medicine and special short module for day to day practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
