Abstract

To study the opinions of medical students on textbooks of geriatrics, we made a questionnaire for 5th-year medical students. All students had their own texbook (s) of internal medicine, and nearly half of the students had textbook (s) of physical examination. However, only 3.6% of students had their own textbook of geriatrics. The reasons for not having a textbook of geriatrics were as follows; 1) no understanding which textbook is better (59.1%), 2) no need to have a texbook (15.5 %), 3) no appropriate texbooks (4.1%), and 4) others (17.6%). The most important point for choosing a texbook was as folows; 1) information from friends or seniors (38.9%). 2) looking by oneself (47.7%), 3) recommendation of a teacher (9.8 %), and 4) others (3.6%).
