In 2019, the European postgraduate curriculum in Geriatric Medicine outlined the minimum recommended training requirements to become a geriatrician at specialist level in the EU. The postgraduate dimension of Geriatric Medicine education is a highly relevant topic for all, since most physicians\u2014independently of their specialty\u2014are inevitably involved in the care of older patients, but for most physicians, geriatrics is not part of their postgraduate generalist or specialty training. A key area for postgraduate education remains the provision of Geriatric Medicine competencies to all specialties outside geriatrics. There is also need for wider educational initiatives to improve the gerontological education of patients and the public. Bernard Isaacs famously coined the expression \u2018geriatric giants\u2019 or the four clinical I\u2019s: Intellectual impairment, Incontinence, Immobility, and Instability. However, non-clinical giants exist. In education, we face challenges of Investment, Inspiration, Integration, and Interprofessionality; and in research, we need to attract Interest and Income, and generate Innovation and Impact. Without strengthening the links between all giants, we will not be able to achieve the ambition of age-attuned societies. A key goal for gerontological education is to enhance everyone\u2019s understanding of the wide diversity underlying the \u2018older people\u2019 demographic label, which will ultimately promote services and societies that are more responsive and inclusive to the needs of all older adults, irrespective of their health status.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afac004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,12]],"date-time":"2022-01-12T15:32:21Z","timestamp":1642001541000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["The giants of education in geriatric medicine and gerontology"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Roman","family":"Romero-Ortuno","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Discipline of Medical Gerontology, School of Medicine, Trinity College Dublin D08 NHY1, Ireland"},{"name":"Mercer\u2019s Institute for Successful Ageing, St James\u2019s Hospital, Dublin D08 NHY1, Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreas E","family":"Stuck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Geriatrics Department, Inselspital and University of Bern, Bern 3010, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tahir","family":"Masud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Care for Older People (HCOP), Queen\u2019s Medical Centre, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Nottingham NG7 2UH, UK"},{"name":"Department of Geriatric Medicine, Odense University Hospital, Odense 5000, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022022105581889500_ref1","volume-title":"Transforming the Future of Ageing","author":"Science Advice for Policy by European A"},{"key":"2022022105581889500_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"436","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afu024","article-title":"Undergraduate teaching in geriatric medicine: mapping the British geriatrics society undergraduate curriculum to Tomorrow's doctors 2009","volume":"43","author":"Forrester-Paton","year":"2014","journal-title":"Age Ageing"},{"key":"2022022105581889500_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"385","DOI":"10.1159\/000346511","article-title":"Considerations for the development of an undergraduate curriculum in geriatric medicine","volume":"59","author":"Singler","year":"2013","journal-title":"Gerontology"},{"key":"2022022105581889500_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"695","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afu019","article-title":"European undergraduate curriculum in geriatric medicine developed using an international modified Delphi technique","volume":"43","author":"Masud","year":"2014","journal-title":"Age Ageing"},{"key":"2022022105581889500_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"205","DOI":"10.1007\/s41999-020-00419-7","article-title":"Geriatric care in European countries where geriatric medicine is still emerging","volume":"12","author":"Soulis","year":"2021","journal-title":"Eur Geriatr Med"},{"key":"2022022105581889500_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"355","DOI":"10.1007\/s41999-021-00465-9","article-title":"What is meant by \"frailty\" in undergraduate medical education?
