| Abstract: |
A model is described that infuses a gerontology curriculum module into an existing baccalaureate social work practicum seminar by tapping existing resources in the aging services network. Particularly practical in small programs, this model utilizes community practitioners in the aging services network as instructors for the gerontology curriculum module. Geriatric practice needs a focus on all levels of systems, and baccalaureate social workers bring a professional orientation that addresses the well-being of individuals and society. As practitioners in the aging services network work closely with social work programs in projects such as this model, there is increased opportunity to articulate the role of baccalaureate social workers in the field of aging as well as strengthen the gerontology competencies of baccalaureate social workers.
