title: A model for teaching medical students ambulatory care geriatrics.
abstract: Several recent articles have called attention to the negative attitudes which are fostered by teaching geriatrics primarily in a long-term care facility. A transportable model has been developed using a multidisciplinary team for teaching ambulatory care geriatrics in a clinic within a congregate housing facility. This model has contributed to more positive attitudes towards geriatrics health care on the part of the students.
