'That's someone's grandma': Teaching person-centred care in a frailty context.

Background: The ability to provide person-centred care (PCC) is an essential skill for doctors and requires therapeutic empathy. We sought to evaluate a novel teaching approach to understand how medical students' personal reflections on an older person impact their views about PCC and frailty.

Approach: We designed a teaching session where students prepared an image and story about an older person they knew.
