Post Graduate Certificate in Gerontology - Interprofessional Practice (GIP2)
Supporting and enhancing the lives of the aging person and their families is a growing and dynamic field. In fact, for the first time in Canadian history, there are more people over the age of 65, than under the age of 15*, which means careers working with seniors are in demand.
This graduate certificate program is designed to offer students the knowledge and skills needed to enhance their professional practice in the care of aging adults. Students with previous experience in social work, recreation and leisure, developmental disabilities and allied health, will develop expertise in the collaborative person-centred care of the aging person through advanced concepts such as geriatric mental health, cultural diversity, thanatology, therapeutic recreation and inclusive practice. Graduates often return to their original field of practice as essential assets within community organizations as they incorporate these new skills to better meet the needs of their clients.
Students will also be provided a 200-hour, interprofessional field placement within a community organization, which includes the completion of an associated capstone project research paper and poster at the end of the year. This valuable experience prepares graduates for employment in a range of settings including senior centres, day and leisure programs, research and education services, retirement homes, long term care facilities, group homes and home support services.
