The Effect of Social Practice Activity to Older Adults on Medical Students: A two-Year Follow-up Survey

Introduction: In the context of an ageing population, the demand for specialized health services for older adults is increasing rapidly, but the number of physicians capable of providing these specialized services is extremely limited. This study aims to explore the impact of a social practice intervention program for older adults on medical students' future career choices. Methods: < .05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Results: < .05). Conclusions: Regular social practice activity for older adults may enable more medical students to potentially become geriatricians and neurologists in the future, thereby contributing to healthy ageing.
