Welcome
The aim of this exciting new online program is to educate nurses about common health problems faced by older adults and to improve the leadership skills of nurses working in geriatrics. Additionally, educational efforts will target issues of health disparities faced by older populations including those in medically underserved areas, older minorities, elderly in rural communities, and nursing home residents.
All modules are offered free of charge and there is no registration fee!
Continuing Education Units are available for each module.
Modules are completely web-based.
