Sumner, Edward D.; Haight, Barbara K.
American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education, v57 n2 p117-21 Sum 1993
A method for increasing interaction between students and older adults in a geriatric pharmacy course uses an instructional module on stereotypes, age and personality, role changes, and nursing home living. The course requires students to conduct a life review of someone over age 65. The exercise improves student communication skills and confidence. (MSE)
