This review of a collection of Age and Ageing papers on the topic in the past 10\u00a0years explores (1) what best practice geriatrics education is and (2) how careers in geriatrics could be made more appealing to improve recruitment and retention. Based on these deeper understandings, we consider, as clinician educators, how to close the gap both pragmatically and theoretically. We point out paradigm shifting solutions that include innovations at the Undergraduate level, use of simulation, incorporation of learner and patient perspectives, upskilling professionals outside of Geriatrics and integration of practice across disciplines through Interprofessional Learning. We also identify an education research methodological gap. Specifically, there is an abundance of simple descriptive or justification studies but few clarification education studies; the latter are essential to develop fresh insights into how Undergraduate students can learn more effectively to meet the needs of the global ageing challenge. A case of improving understanding in delirium education is presented as an illustrative example of a new approach to exploring at greater depth education and outlines suggested directions for the future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afae050","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,28]],"date-time":"2024-02-28T18:00:58Z","timestamp":1709143258000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["New horizons in undergraduate geriatric medicine education"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Andrew","family":"Teodorczuk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Queensland Northside Clinical Unit, The Medical School, , Brisbane, Qld, Australia"},{"name":"The Prince Charles Hospital, Metro North Mental Health , Brisbane, Qld, Australia"},{"name":"Griffith University School of Medicine and Dentistry, , Southport, Qld, Australia"},{"name":"School of Nursing , , Brisbane, Qld, Australia"},{"name":"QUT , , Brisbane, Qld, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Petal S","family":"Abdool","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Geriatric Mental Health Service, , Toronto, Canada"},{"name":"University of Toronto Department of Psychiatry, , Toronto, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chloe X","family":"Yap","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Prince Charles Hospital, Metro North Mental Health , Brisbane, Qld, Australia"},{"name":"The University of Queensland Mater Research Institute, , Brisbane, Qld, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James M","family":"Fisher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Department of Geriatric Medicine, , North Tyneside, UK"},{"name":"Newcastle University School of Medicine, , Newcastle upon Tyne, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024050100023147400_ref1","article-title":"National Institute of Health, World Health Organisation","author":"National Institute on Aging","year":"2011"},{"key":"2024050100023147400_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"442","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/afu077","article-title":"Equipping tomorrow\u2019s doctors for the patients of today","volume":"43","author":"Oakley","year":"2014","journal-title":"Age Ageing"},{"key":"2024050100023147400_ref3","volume-title":"Living longer and Old-Age Dependency \u2013 What Does the Future Hold?","author":"Office National Statistics","year":"2021"},{"key":"2024050100023147400_ref4","volume-title":"Longer Hospital Stays and Fewer Admissions: How NHS Hospital Care Changed in England between 2019 and 2022","author":"Cavallaro","year":"2023"},{"key":"2024050100023147400_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"293","DOI":"10.1093\/ageing\/aft207","article-title":"UK medical teaching about ageing is improving but there is still work to be done: the Second National Survey of Undergraduate Teaching in Ageing and Geriatric Medicine","volume":"43","author":"Gordon","year":"2014","journal-title":"Age Ageing"},{"key":"2024050100023147400_ref6","volume-title":"NHS Long Term Workforce Plan","author":"","year":"2023"},{"key":"2024050100023147400_ref7","volume-title":"The NHS Workforce in Numbers","author":"Rolewicz","year":"2022"},{"key":"2024050100023147400_ref8","volume-title":"The State of Medical Education and Practice in the UK: 2023 UK Workplace Report","author":"GMC","year":"2023"},{"key":"2024050100023147400_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"105","DOI":"10.3109\/0142159X.2014.955845","article-title":"Preparing to meet the needs of an ageing population -
