Geriatric Educational Interventions for Physicians Training in Non-Geriatric Specialties: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physicians require the expertise to care for an increasingly aging population. A robust understanding of geriatric educational interventions is needed to improve geriatric training for physicians.

Objective

To map the breadth of geriatric educational interventions for residents (in non-geriatric specialties).

Methods

We used a scoping review methodology. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, EMCare, CENTRAL, ERIC, and Scopus from 2004 to September 2019 for search terms related to "educational approaches" AND "geriatric" AND "residents." Two authors independently selected eligible studies, extracted data (categorized by educational approaches and Kirkpatrick level outcomes), and critically appraised studies using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool.
