Abstract:
Since 2000 we have used a home-visit nursing program for fifth-year medical students at Gifu University to examine the significance of domiciliary and geriatric medicine. We used questionnaires before and after the program to evaluate its effects on students. The desire of students to be involved with both domiciliary and geriatric medicine as phys iciansincreased after the program. Greater increases were observed among students who knew less before the program about the significance of home and elder care. The program was effective for encouraging medical students to think about domiciliary and geriatric medicine.
