Description
Dominik Thor, David Barzilai, Yu-Xuan Lyu, and Luiza Spiru argue that doctors need training in longevity medicine, not just in treating sickness. The science of aging is moving fast, from the biology of aging cells to tools that track health over time. Most physicians, though, were never taught to use those insights in daily care. Their 2025 paper proposes how to add longevity skills through continuing education first, with formal curriculum places later.
The goal is a doctor who guards healthspan, the years lived in good health, not only lifespan. Training would cover prevention, health upkeep, and how to judge new anti-aging claims with care. The authors call education the field's main bottleneck. They sketch pathways schools and course providers can adopt now.
