| Annotation | There is pressing need to upgrade practising social workers' gerontological knowledge and skills. Geriatrics and gerontology, as fields of knowledge, have not been sufficiently integrated into formal academic courses. Major trends in health care that affect social work education include technological advances, a shift from inpatient to outpatient and community care settings, increased diversity of the older population, and client and family participation in decision-making. An obstacle to the preparation of future social workers in the US is the dearth of gerontology academics. (RH). |
