Using an inter professional team approach, this course addresses case-based geriatric care issues and examines the evidence that supports the
link between the use of interprofessional team approaches and markers of safe, high quality care and patient outcomes in the older adult population. The purpose of this course is to develop interprofessional collaborative practice core competencies, develop and refine advanced practice skills in the care of the older adult. These goals will be built upon the acquisition of basic knowledge of the process of normal aging, the understanding of normal aging and pathology, the skillful and appropriate approach to the older adult, assessment of
function and comprehension of the unique care needs of this vulnerable population.
