ABSTRACT
Training in gerontology in American institutes of higher education is conceptualized and realized in response to present societal demands. Although plurality of approaches prevails, gerontology has become an institutionalized discipline which in its research, training and application is formally sponsored by the national government. Programs are offered in many colleges and universities and assessed in terms of scientific excellence, of efficiency in teaching knowledge from multiple disciplines, and in terms of practicality. But still, problems of poor research and "quasi-professional" teaching, as well as of insufficiently founded practical work concern gerontologists. In a time of expansion, "instant gerontologists" have become a threat to the field. A brief "instant gerontologists" have become a threat to the field. A brief overview on questions presently discussed among teachers in gerontology is given, and a model-institution for gerontological training is briefly described, the Andrus Gerontology Center at the University of Southern California.
