A Partnership among a University, Foundation and Community Agencies for Training Gerontological Social Workers
Gutheil, Irene A.; Heyman, Janna C.
Educational Gerontology, v36 n1 p1-11 2010
Attention to preparing social workers for our aging society has increased with concern that there may be insufficient professionals to meet the need. Interest in training gerontologically-savvy social work students had led to the development of models to achieve this end. This article reports on a collaboration among a university's school of social work, a foundation, and community agencies, to provide special training for students interested in aging. The model presented here offers locally-focused and smaller founders in aging an educational strategy to achieve their goals. The evaluation of the model and the findings of this evaluation are reviewed.
