AnnotationHealth professionals currently include large numbers of older adults within their practices, a trend which is likely to continue; and health care students require a range of skills to meet the needs of future clients. Results of a survey of gerontological curricula for occupational therapy training courses in Canada are described, including experience of fieldwork undertaken. Recommendations made for curriculum development are applicable to other health professional courses. (RH).
