| Annotation | This editorial focuses on the development of educational gerontology in Canada. In 1991, the National Advisory Council on Aging (NACA) published its position on gerontology education. Recommendations included a focus on personnel needs and programme development; a national inventory of gerontology instruction; guidelines for programme development; and faculty development and strategies to promote student interest. It also recommended continuing education for staff who work with older people, and that education adopt a multidisciplinary perspective. The authors look at the future development of educational gerontology, and suggest that it must embrace a new vision of long-term care. (AKM). |
