GERON 5395 - Geriatric Care Management Seminar and Practicum

Meets with GERON 6395. Geriatric Care Management Seminar and Practicum provides supervised skill development opportunities in comprehensive geriatric care management in a variety of settings working directly with elderly clients, their families, and those providing care, resources, and services. Emphasis is on service provision within the family's particular economic, legal-ethical, and cultural environment. Individual students will be placed in field experiences after evaluation of past academic and work experiences, consideration of needed skills, and availability of appropriate practicum sites. Formal arrangements must be between the University of Utah, College of Nursing and the practicum site for the educational placement prior to beginning field experiences.
