By 2030, 25% of Canadians will be over 65; 12% will be over 85 years of age. 75% of nursing medical time will be spent with older adults by 2020.
All health professionals (Nursing, Rehab, Social Work and Human Services) who work with aging adults need specialized knowledge and training to effectively educate, assess and care for older people. They require tools and skills to meet the complex physical, social, environmental, cognitive and spiritual needs of the elderly. Health professionals need the ability to analyze trends and challenges in the field of Geriatrics, and the skills to work with multiple disciplines to proactively respond to these.
Scope of Program
Following an overview of the emerging field of Geriatric studies, participants will consider the elements that contribute to healthy aging and analyze factors that deter or undermine wellness. The course modules will help each student develop a conceptual framework for geriatric assessment in the spheres of psychosocial, physiologic and mental health. A choice of several electives will allow each person to enrich their personal educational needs.
