AGHE's Campus Conversation: Gerontology and Geriatrics Curricular Standards and Guidelines in Higher Education — Advancing your Curriculum or Program
Tuesday, May 9, 2023
1 to 2 p.m. ET
See registration instructions above
Free for Members; $25 Registration for Non-Members
With the publication of the 7th edition of the Gerontology and Geriatrics Curricular Standards and Guidelines in Higher Education, opportunities for curriculum development and program enhancements abound. Although health professions programs have led the way in competency based education, this edition supports the transition for all levels of gerontology programs to shift to a competency-based platform as well. For health professions programs, integrating gerontology and geriatrics into their existing curriculum makes notable the program’s preparation to advance their students’ knowledge, skills, and attitude to work with older people. Additionally, these Standards and Guidelines are the foundation for attaining the AGHE Program of Merit; a voluntary program of curricular review to recognize meritorious programs. The key to this session is the opportunity to have discussions and apply critical thinking in the advancement of gerontology and geriatrics at your institution and within your programs.
Presented by:
- Marilyn R. Gugliucci, MA, PhD, FAGHE, FGSA, AGSF, FNAOME, Professor and Director of Geriatrics Education and Research, University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine
