Enhance your knowledge and skills related to providing health care for the elderly by selecting from over thirty modules to meet your learning objectives. Continuing education and/or academic credit are available. In addition, there is a 45-hour certificate program. The modules are divided into four thematic sections:
1. Core modules provide an overview and background information, and are suitable for all health professionals.
2. Health Problems modules provide in depth information on the treatment of common health problems of the elderly.
3. Geriatric Health Screening modules discuss the rationale and methods for screening geriatric clients for specific diseases.
4. Education modules are designed for health professions faculty to provide teaching theory and practice.
MTGEC partnered with the Skaggs School of Pharmacy IPHARM (Improving Health Among Rural Montanans) program in order to provide interdisciplinary clinical training in geriatrics for health professions students. Wellness testing is conducted across the state in a variety of settings including assisted living centers, nursing homes, pharmacies and senior centers. There is follow-up with geriatric clients who have abnormal results.
