Abstract:
Since China enters the aging society, there are several apparent trends, such as large elderly population base, rapid growth, aging, dysfunctional andempty nest. These phenomenon leads to a huge economic and social burden for our country and individuals. To meet the health demand of elderly population, our society urgently needs more professional and more comprehensive geriatri-cians. However, the current education methods, to some extent, limit the possibility of the graduates becoming a good geriatric medicine physician in relatively short period. Therefore, it is necessary to reform the geriatrics education methods. Systematic learning method, mutual complementarily method and Problem-based Learning (PBL) method can be used to help geriatrics graduate students master the theoretical knowledge and practical skills before working and lay a solid founding for becoming a good geriatric medicine physician in relatively short period.
