title: [Medicine in old age and in the elderly. Educational concepts in area Q7 of the accreditation requirements and its first evaluation by students].
abstract: Until very recently, medicine in old age was not an obligatory part of the medical students' education in Germany. This has been changed by an educational reform. However, there are no obliging recommendations or procedures on which issues of medicine in old age should be taught. Therefore, we describe the development of a new curriculum, first experiences with the teaching, and the results of its evaluation by the students at the University of Hamburg. As a result, the subjects and the didactic teaching were both well accepted by the students and judged as interesting and instructive.
