IPHE400 Inter-professional Care of the Older Adult

IPHE 400 Inter-professional Care of the Older Adult will detail the unique roles and functions of geriatric care by exploring historical underpinnings, societal needs, and current issues. Two conceptual models for care of acutely ill, chronically ill or frail elders will provide students with the foundation for application of assessment tools and critical analysis. A focus on health promotion and wellness in later life will guide and direct student's leadership in the care of older adults. Web, electronic and journal resources that support the student's practice will be identified.
