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.

Thus, we need to understand why and in what ways medical students have difficulty engaging with older people and geriatric medicine. Twenty-two medical students studying at the University of Bristol (UK) participated in focus groups, exploring their attitudes toward older people and toward geriatric medicine. Five themes were derived using reflexive thematic analysis. Relationships with older relatives contribute toward students' perceptions of older patients and can enhance their empathy. However, some compartmentalize personal experiences from professional practice to mitigate moral distress. Students are aware of ageism, and in turn encounter challenging views among the older population, which both present significant challenges. It was clear that career decision-making is multi-faceted; inspiring role models, welcoming learning environments, and undergraduate experience were all important. Critically, undergraduate exposure to the full breadth of geriatric medicine and the spectrum of aging was key to changing students' negative pre-conceptions about caring for older people and geriatric medicine.
