title: Gerontological education in Australia.
abstract: Courses in Gerontology and Geriatric medicine are now provided in most undergraduate training programs for medical, allied health and social work professionals in Australian Universities. The depth and coverage varies between schools but almost all undergraduate social workers, nurses, medical practitioners and allied health professionals will receive some training and in several cases more extensive optional programs are offered.
