Our aim was to assess whether an Aged Care \"Crash Course\" is associated with improvements in self-assessed knowledge/ability and addresses gaps for medical students whose clinical experiences were disrupted by COVID-19. A 5-hour multidisciplinary aged care teaching session was designed for and delivered to mid-degree medical students. Lectorials and a workshop comprising \"rotation stations\" focussed on key topics in aged care. A voluntary, anonymous hard-copy survey was offered before/after the workshop. Amongst 24 attendees, 17 completed the \"before\" survey, 18 (75%) the \"after\" (76% female, mean age = 21.5 years). Common self-identified gaps pre-intervention included: physical examination skills, communicating with older patients/carers, delirium/dementia diagnosis/management, and managing medications. Median Likert scores (1-5) for self-assessed competence across key aged-care concepts all improved after the workshop (hand examination <i>p</i> = 0.03, all others <i>p</i> ≤ 0.001), with 1 to point increases in all.
