In response to this finding, an IRB-approved follow-up survey was distributed to UML retired faculty and emeriti professors, the end of which invited respondents to participate in one-hour virtual qualitative interviews to explore the research question: What are the perceptions of retired faculty and emeriti professors regarding AFU Principle 9? Emeriti professor interviews (n = 19) were held in 2021. Four researchers completed the content analyses, which revealed six major themes: promoting intergenerational learning (IGL) activities; considering emeritus group; being proactive; supporting continued UML relationships; meaning of emeritus and preferred engagement; actual and perceived benefits. The findings offer guidance as to how AFU principles can serve as a guide to benefit both retired faculty and emeriti professors, students, and the UML community through understanding of this untapped resource.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"168-184"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142915906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ageism is rampant and pervasive, often socially acceptable; however, it can be harmful to older adults' health and longevity. Education can reduce ageism, especially when coupled with intergenerational contact interventions. We conceptualized and implemented an anti-ageism curriculum for third year medical students to improve their awareness, attitudes and behaviors toward older people. First, we assigned students to engage in self-directed learning and reflection. Then, we had an hour-long interactive virtual didactic session involving case discussions, facilitated by interprofessional faculty. Then, we elicited students' commitment to change related to anti-ageism. We found a significant increase in students' self-assessed confidence in identifying ageist remarks and actions and in reducing their own ageist biases. Our curriculum was associated with an increase in medical students' perception that older patients are more appreciative of the care they receive and a decrease in their perception that taking a medical history from older patients is frequently an ordeal.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"226-236"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144064962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the effects of using a threshold concept approach to teach ageism and compares undergraduate students' perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors across different classes. Four entry-level gerontology courses participated; two used the threshold concept framework, while the other two employed a traditional one-time module. In-class survey data were collected from all four courses; word clouds and qualitative reflections were collected from intervention courses before and after the intervention. SPSS was used for descriptive analysis, and content analysis for qualitative data. Results indicated a shift in the intervention groups' understanding of ageism. Initially, students associated aging with negative stereotypes and physical decline, but they later developed a more nuanced view of aging, recognizing ageism's broader societal implications after the intervention. Word clouds revealed a shift from negative to more diverse descriptors of aging. The findings suggest that integrating threshold concepts into curriculum fosters irreversible changes in attitudes and perspectives toward aging, encouraging a more positive and inclusive view. Future research should explore the long-term effects of this approach and its application across other gerontological contexts.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"287-306"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144200416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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 p = 0.03, all others p ≤ 0.001), with 1 to point increases in all. Asked if the workshop addressed gaps (\"after\"), 15/15 responding reported \"yes.\" Key take-home messages commonly referenced the \"5 Ps of delirium etiology,\" gait assessment and medication rationalisation/side-effects.

This opportunity has been available for many years, yet it is relatively unknown and not promoted by key parties. The purpose of this paper is to describe the experience of implementing a program to 1) develop and institute a targeted marketing campaign to raise awareness of the HB60 program to university and community partners, 2) develop and administer training to academic advisors to facilitate support for those enrolling in HB60, and 3) enhance enrollment through tuition waiver support. Community partnerships increased and departmental support for marketing, communications, and processing tuition waiver funds facilitated enrollment in HB60. Over four semesters, use of tuition waivers increased by 875%.

Participants provided information on their age, sex-at-birth, gender, socioeconomic and marital statuses. Correlations were examined between personality traits, time spent with a person with dementia, knowledge about dementia, ageism, and stigmatization of dementia. ANOVAs were conducted to assess differences in levels of distress elicited across the six dementia-related behaviors exhibited in the vignette and across the three components of the stigmatization scale. Ageist beliefs and stigmatizing beliefs were positively associated. More time spent with persons with dementia as well as higher levels of Conscientiousness and Extraversion predicted lower levels of ageist beliefs. Aggression and poor hygiene were judged to be significantly more upsetting to participants than poor memory and confusion.
