Keeping Gerontology on the Cutting Edge
The elderly population in America is quickly growing, and the demand for well-trained and proactive geriatricians is increasing on a daily basis. Clinicians working in eldercare must keep current on new and current advances across several disciplines in order to effectively treat our aging clients.
Normal aging, the promotion of healthy cognitive and emotional aging, age and sexuality, spirituality and aging, and clinical and ethical concerns surrounding death, dying, and grief are all discussed, along with suitable treatment techniques. The course focuses on aging issues, such as particular considerations in geriatric evaluation and moderate and severe neurocognitive abnormalities, as well as how professionals may effectively address the requirements of elderly clients. The course also discusses the particular ethical challenges that emerge in the setting of eldercare, such as dealing with adult children of seniors, future planning, elders at risk, safety issues and dementia care, capacity/competency, and end-of-life decision-making. After completing this two-day thorough training, you will feel more confident in interacting with your older customers.
