About the Book

s your gerontological social work program as comprehensiveand as well attendedas it could be?

Advancing Gerontological Social Work Education will help you develop courses that effectively prepare social work students and practitioners to work with the ever-increasing older population. It clearly presents the rationale for geriatric/gerontological preparation and defines the current status of geriatric/gerontological education. With fascinating case studies, detailed curricula, and a review of the skills and knowledge competencies necessary for effective geriatric social work practice, this book also describes a variety of courses and teaching programs in detailnoting the problems that other educators have encountered and offering practical suggestions to help in replicating the programs in other institutions.

This book is especially useful because it not only examines the issues surroundingand need forincreased gerontological education for social workers, but because it follows this with specific, concrete descriptions of educational approaches and curricula. It provides you with both the framework and the specifics to develop your own gerontological social work education program at the graduate or undergraduate level. Helpful charts and tables make the information easy to access and understand.

Advancing Gerontological Social Work Education is divided into three sections, each of which will increase your knowledge and understanding of this vital area of social work education. The first section examines:

  • developing a field training rotation model
  • a doctoral fellowship program and its dissertation support, mentorship, and leadership development
