| Annotation | This issue of Gerontology & Geriatrics Education presents a group of articles on innovative strategies for the education of American health care professionals about ageing. Included are: the development of a course using theatre scripts; an analysis of students' interdisciplinary ageing interest groups; the comparison of pedagogic techniques for learning geriatric competencies; a consortium for the enhancement of psychosocial learning; and a course to integrate ageing=relevant content into medical consortia. The contributors use different measures of success to determine whether goals were achieved. Each article focuses on promoting and disseminating the application of feasible methods for the enhanced care of older patients - including e-newsletters and websites. (RH). |
