ABSTRACT

As the population of older adults continues to grow, the need for health care professionals trained in the delivery of interprofessional care for older adult patients is critical. The purpose of this paper is to detail the outcomes of an interprofessional, geriatrics training program for healthcare professionals with a faculty appointment. Specifically, we gathered outcomes at four levels: reactions/satisfaction, learning, behavioral, and organizational. Our findings suggest that programs structured like the Faculty Development Program (FDP) have the potential to increase the amount of geriatrics content introduced in already existing health professions curricula, as well as to offer faculty needed training in how to provide their students with interprofessional learning experiences.

摘要

随着老年人口的不断增长，对接受过为老年患者提供跨专业护理培训的医疗保健专业人员的需求至关重要。本文的目的是详细介绍针对具有教师任命的医疗保健专业人员的跨专业老年病学培训计划的结果。具体来说，我们在四个层面收集了结果：反应/满意度、学习、行为和组织。我们的研究结果表明，像教师发展计划 (FDP) 这样的计划有可能增加现有卫生专业课程中引入的老年病学内容的数量，并为教师提供如何为学生提供跨专业学习体验所需的培训.
