This is a lab-based course that provides learners with an opportunity to work within a simulated environment, where learners practice applying and refining their approaches to care of older adults experiencing a wide range of health-related issues. The lab is set up as a place where co-learning and problem-solving form the basis of self-evaluation and formative and summative instructor evaluation.
Each class will cover one or more of the following:
- Chart review – what are you looking for?
- Risk identification, planning and assessments
- Provision of care
- Evaluation of care
- Interprofessional team roles and responsibilities
- Documentation
- Communication (therapeutic relationships and interprofessional collaboration)
- Practice exams
Pre-class preparation activities are to be completed prior to class to enhance learning and optimize the lab time.
- Teacher: Benjamin Dowell
