Medical Education in the Long-Term Care Setting: Exploring Residents ’ Experience of Learning in This Environment

Long-Term Care (LTC) education has been shown to increase geriatric knowledge and skills of trainees. Literature on factors influencing learning in the LTC learning environment is sparse. With an aging population and increasing complex multimorbidity, training physicians to deal with this challenge is a priority. The aim of this study is to explore learners ’ experience of learning within a competency-based curriculum with direct clinical supervision in the LTC environment. It also explores the impact of training on self perception of competence to manage older adults across other care settings.
