| Annotation | Major changes are taking place within the US health care system which have important implications for training geriatric health care professionals. The forces driving these changes are also affecting academic settings, where trends supporting the development of community-academic partnerships, service learning models, and interdisciplinary education are all evident. These trends have major implications for health profession educators working to develop academic courses to prepare students for future practice with older people. This article explores the impacts of these changes, particularly on the design of interdisciplinary or collaborative education, including: assessment and definition of the problem, emphasis on functioning and quality of life, professional identity, changing roles of faculty and students, and institutional-organisational implications. General recommendations on how to respond to the challenges represented in these trends are also explored. (RH). |
