Abstract
La Geriatría es la especialidad médica dedicada a los aspectos preventivos, clínicos, terapéuticos y sociales de las personas mayores.

Existen algunos estudios sobre el estado de la enseñanza de Geriatría en distintos países con resultados heterogéneos. Recientemente, en España se ha introducido un nuevo plan de Medicina basado en el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior, ha aumentado el número de facultades de Medicina existentes, y hace muy poco se ha propuesto un nuevo programa europeo sobre formación en Geriatría. Por tanto, parece oportuno evaluar el estado de la formación en Geriatría en las facultades de Medicina españolas...
