  • Title: Update on teaching in the long-term care setting.
    Author: Buhr GT, Paniagua MA.
    Journal: Clin Geriatr Med; 2011 May; 27(2):199-211. PubMed ID: 21641506.
    Abstract:
    Since the advent of the teaching nursing home, made formal in the 1980s, long-term care has been used to teach geriatric medicine. Despite this, national surveys have indicated a need for more training during residency to facilitate the appropriate care for the frail long-term care patient population. In addition to medical knowledge, the long-term care site is appropriate for teaching the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education's core competencies of "practice-based learning and improvement," "interpersonal and communication skills," and "systems-based practice." Program planners should emphasize opportunities for students to demonstrate their skill in one of these competencies.
