Aging Couple across the Curriculum
Rull, Gary M.; Rosher, Richard B.; McCann-Stone, Nancy; Robinson, Sherry B.
Gerontology & Geriatrics Education, v30 n3 p243-253 2009
Aging Couple Across the Curriculum is a unique program designed around a couple who "age" a decade with each year of medical school. In these half-day sessions, students encounter the aging couple through a standardized patient experience. Interactive breakout sessions conducted by multidisciplinary professionals enhance student learning and appreciation of the contributions of the team of professionals. A panel of elder specialists provides personal insight into how they have overcome and/or adapted to various health-related problems. Evaluation measures have indicated that students are benefiting from the program and that it is affecting their attitudes in a positive way toward caring for older adults. (Contains 3 tables.)
