Evaluating the Curricula for Entry-Level Care Professionals in Aging-Related Fields
Ma, Ambrose
Educational Gerontology, v33 n10 p881-896 Oct 2007
The rapidly growing older population has generated the need for more gerontological or geriatric care professionals. This study evaluated the undergraduate programs offered by the departments of medicine, nursing studies and social work at a university in Hong Kong, based on the data of a recent alumni survey. It also identified factors that determine the perceived adequacy of training. The training was found to be moderately adequate in preparing the alumni for practice in the field of aging, but there is a need to improve the existing curricula. Suggestions for further studies are discussed. (Contains 4 tables.)
