“High quality, patient and family-centered care is delivered best ….
…..when students learn how to work in interprofessional teams in real world settings, coupled with evidence-based curriculum”
We hope to help learners (clinicians, faculty, students, patients, families, caregivers, community organizations) come together for closer and more collaborative relationships, understand each other’s perspectives, and nurture empathy and humanism for service to older adults.
