With the acceleration of population aging, prevention and treatment for senile diseases has become one of the priorities of healthcare work in China at the present stage. So we need to have higher requirements for geriatric medical teaching. We need to think about how to mobilize students to pay attention to senile diseases and their learning enthusiasm, and thus make the teaching process in stable development. Compared to the previous teaching mode, problem-based learning (PBL) teaching mode has played an important promoting role in the cultivation of comprehensive ability of medical students, the spirit of innovation and team spirit. And it should be applied in the field of geriatrics teaching.
