The survey collected demographic data, educational/career goals, program experiences, and post-program outcomes, including continued education and scientific engagement. Ninety-one percent of respondents indicated that STAR U was \"extremely significant\" or \"very significant\" in influencing them to pursue a career in science, and 93% found STAR U effective in influencing pursuits in aging research. Forty-one percent were accepted or enrolled in science-related graduate programs, with half in doctoral programs. Respondents actively disseminated their research, with 10% leading or coauthoring papers for publication. PubMed shows 22 alumni (44%) have a total of 44 publications. Qualitative feedback highlighted the program's impact on career exploration, mentorship, and the supportive environment.

Professional services will face issues related to end-of-life, making knowledge about death, grief, and loss essential. Most, however, report inadequate access to gerontological, geriatrics, or death education, particularly delivered with cultural humility. Colleges/universities can help fill this gap through formal death-and-dying-curricula, but faculty often feel unprepared to teach these sensitive topics. This study explored the experiences (e.g. lessons learned, best practices) of 27 instructors teaching death-related courses via semi-structured interviews. A consistent concern emerged among faculty regarding limited resources on cultural diversity. This prompted a post-hoc analysis of the existing data via a deductive content analytic approach to explore how a culturally responsive-sustaining (CR-S) education framework could inform future work. Evidence to support all four principles of CR-S emerged and three additional principles were identified that may build on the CR-S framework. Findings emphasize the need for more culturally relevant materials and multidisciplinary course delivery. We offer actionable suggestions for integrating cultural humility into death education and advocate for amplifying diverse voices in the field.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"413-430"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144032239","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}

However, patients did demonstrate similar physical scores when compared with older adult norms while wearing the geriatric simulation suit.

Fifty percent of studies reported the development and validation of a new instrument. No instruments were based on updated medical student competencies aligned with the Geriatrics 5 Ms.Conclusion: Despite the availability of validated instruments, they do not appear to be commonly used to reflect learning outcomes in the published Geriatrics medical education literature. Additionally, there is significant variation in competencies guiding validated instruments, and currently, no published tools that directly align with the Age-Friendly competencies.","PeriodicalId":46431,"journal":{"name":"GERONTOLOGY & GERIATRICS EDUCATION","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144209856","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}

Dynamic evidence-based medicine sessions employ interactive instructional methods and integrate necessary residency skills. The course has been delivered for 6 years, two of which were virtual due to COVID-19. Pre- and post-course surveys assessed curricular feasibility, utility, and acceptability.

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":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","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}
