Publication Type: Abstract Abstract: Objectives: Because of aging demographics, it is important that students in the health professions obtain knowledge of aging, nutrition, physical activity, and medications specific to older adults to optimally treat and help prevent and manage chronic disease states. A literature review revealed no studies or tools that assessed this knowledge. A goal of this study was to assess MCPHS students’ knowledge in these four areas to determine and address educational needs. Methods: A 38 question survey developed by pharmacy and psychology faculty assessing knowledge in each of these key areas specific to older adults was distributed to 220 pharmacy, 25 Physician Assistant and 40 Nursing students exiting from MCPHS professional programs in Spring 2007. Due to disproportionate numbers, only data for pharmacy students is presented. Results: 162 (74%) of pharmacy students responded to the survey. The mean age ± SD was 26 (3.3) years and 76% were female. The percentage of students answering questions correctly in each domain were: physical aging 57.9%, nutrition 69.9%, physical activity 58.4%, and medications 81.7%. Of respondents, 46.3% either strongly agreed or agreed that their professional education adequately prepared them to address the health care needs of older adults. Pharmacy students scored significantly higher on medication questions (p< .001), while physician assistant students scored higher on physical aging and physical activity (p<.001) questions. There was no difference between programs (p= .07) on nutrition responses. Implications: There is a need to better prepare pharmacy students to address the multiple health care needs of the elderly.
