    The elderly population, defined as the number of people over 60 and over 65 years has increased considerably, and this fact also observed in Brazil from the 1980s In 2005, Alzheimer's Disease International estimated that, worldwide 24.3 million people have dementia and about 4.6 million new cases per year. Given this panorama, medical education should be the focus of study in relation to vocational training for the diagnosis of dementia, and to understand the attitudes of medical professional front of the elderly demented patient. The objective is to describe the attitudes toward patient demented that are reported by freshmen resident doctors in residency programs in areas that handle the elderly with dementia. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study, consisting of a convenience sample, with 71 resident doctors of psychiatry areas (N = 11), Neurology (N = 6), Internal Medicine (N = 34) and Geriatra (N = 10) the first month of residency. Most doctors agreed fully that much can be done to improve the quality of life of caregivers of people with dementia (86.9%) and that much can be done to improve the quality of life of people with dementia (59.0% ). Most participants (63.9%) states that dementia is best diagnosed in specialized services. Much of the doctors (41%) disagree that patients with dementia can deplete resources with little positive result and 85.2% also disagree that it is better to talk to the patient using euphemisms. Only 21.3% of respondents believe that treating dementia often more frustrating than rewarding and 24.6% that is not worth driving families to specialized services when they do not want to use them. Most physicians (88.5%) disagree that primary care team has a very limited role in the care of people with dementia. The main recommendation of this study is the attention that should be given to dementia teaching in medical schools, especially in making the diagnosis, so that the doctor has an optimistic view of his role as elder care provider with dementia.
