With the rapid aging of Japan's population, medical professionals who specialize in geriatric medicine are in unprecedented demand. To meet that demand and to improve the curriculum for teaching geriatric medicine and gerontology in Japan, we surveyed medical students' understandings of these specialties. Students at 14 schools with classes in geriatric medicine and gerontology were surveyed. A questionnaire was sent to sixth-year medical students after their classes had ended. Questionnaires were collected from 849 students (60.1%) at ten medical schools (74.1%). One quarter (24.5%) of the students were satisfied with the contents of the classes in geriatric medicine and gerontology taught in their school, whereas 39.4% were not. These specialties encompass many fields of clinical and basic medicine, and many students found the lectures difficult to understand (41.4%). Inter-school comparisons of the results showed that students' strengths and weaknesses in the various areas of geriatric medicine reflected differences in the contents of the classes among the schools. Only 35.4% of students had ever visited hospitals or other health-related facilities for the elderly. Many students (58.8%) had never lived with elderly people. Most students (63.9%) wanted visits to health-care facilities for the elderly to be included in their regular curriculum. Medical students are conscious of the medical implications of the ageing of Japan' s population; 13.2% had volunteered to work with the elderly.
