6th Annual Hot Topics in Aging

November 2, 2021
NEEDS STATEMENT
The education and training of professionals in the area of geriatrics is hampered by a scarcity of faculty, inadequate and variable academic curricula and clinical experiences, and a lack of opportunities for advanced training. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee on the Future Health Care Workforce for Older Americans committee recommends that more be done to ensure that all health care professionals have competence in geriatric principles. The IOM further calls for interprofessional collaborative practice education and training for health care professionals in training and in practice. The education and training of geriatric health care professionals is often limited in scope and needs to be expanded to take into account the diversity of health care needs among older populations and prepare professionals for new models of care, many of which will require changed or expanded roles.
