title: Ethnogeriatric education: Need and content.
abstract: The population of elders from ethnic minority populations in the U.S. is growing much more rapidly than the exploding older population as a whole, yet few geriatric providers are being educated concerning ethnic elders' diverse health care needs. Examples are given of the diversity of ethnic elders' health risks, health beliefs and expectations of treatment, and utilization patterns of health care services being incorporated into ethnogeriatric curriculum being developed by the Stanford Geriatric Education Center.
