AB  - Aging of the population is a growing concern in developed countries. Therefore, 
      geriatric psychiatry has gradually emerged from general psychiatry. Many names 
      have been proposed to term this sub-specialty: old age psychiatry (OAP), 
      psychogeriatrics, geropsychiatry. A working group of the French federation of 
      psychiatric trainees (AFFEP) set up an inventory of the theoretical instruction 
      and clinical practice of OAP during the training of psychiatrists in France. 
      Methods. A survey of both academic teaching and practical training for OAP was 
      carried out in the 28 local AFFEP representatives of every French medical 
      residency district, including overseas. We assessed the supply of general courses 
      and seminars devoted to OAP during the training of French residents in 
      psychiatry, and the offer of university or inter-university degrees as well as 
      the possibility of specialized internship in every residency district. Results. 
      96% of French medical residency districts offered general courses of OAP with a 
      mean volume of 11.5 hours along the four years of psychiatric training in France. 
      Fifty percent of medical residency districts proposed at least one seminar 
      devoted to OAP. Half of medical residency districts also offer a specialized 
      university or inter-university degree. Concerning clinical practice, 86% of 
      medical residency districts had one internship dedicated to OAP, in 39% of cases 
      in teaching hospitals. Conclusion. Nationwide, there is an overall effort to make 
      OAP available to French psychiatric residents by general courses and internship, 
      but some disparity appeared in academic teaching (i.e. offering seminars and 
      university/inter-university degrees) according to various residency districts.
