About the Program
The online Interprofessional Graduate Certificate in Gerontology expands the knowledge, skills, and abilities of health and human service professionals who care for older adults. Graduates will be able to:
- Develop a gerontological perspective of the challenges and opportunities of aging through knowledge, self-reflection, and critical analysis of existing frameworks.
- Recommend interventions that promote older adults’ strengths and adaptations to maximize well-being, health, and mental health.
- Evaluate ethical challenges in health and team-based care and their impact on older adults, families, and practitioners.
- Use disciplinary expertise and collaboration to assess health and service needs of older adults and their caregivers.
- Articulate role functions across the interprofessional care team using an integrated approach to aging, including the role of the older adult as a driver of their care.
