Abstract:
A major issue in social work education is gerontological specialization within a generalist curriculum. Among the many options for integrating gerontological information into social work education is the Graduate Certificate in Gerontology. Certificate programs provide advanced gerontological content, aging research opportunities, and multidisciplinary practicum experiences. A central coordinating unit is recommended to enhance participation of faculty with gerontological expertise across disciplines within a university. Geriatric Education Centers provide faculty and practicum preceptors with curriculum consultation, instructional materials, and continuing education programs to update content knowledge, to enhance clinical and educational skills, and to support research activities in aging.
