title: [Basic education in geriatrics is still unequally distributed in Scandinavia].
abstract: A survey is in progress of the training in geriatrics given in Europe, and the status of such training in the Nordic countries is reported here. The Nordic countries--particularly Sweden--have a fairly long tradition of basic training in geriatrics and the research possibilities are also comparatively good. But the distribution of professorships, university departments, and basic training in geriatric medicine are still uneven in the Nordic countries.
