What Should Gerontology Learn from Health Education Accreditation?
Bradley, Dana Burr; Fitzgerald, Kelly
Gerontology & Geriatrics Education, v33 n1 p75-86 2012
Quality assurance and accreditation are closely tied together. This article documents the work toward a unified and comprehensive national accreditation program in health education. By exploring the accreditation journey of another discipline, the field of gerontology should learn valuable lessons. These include an attention to inclusivity, a generous timeline, ample communication, and abundant resources.
