The Gerontology program at Fanshawe College is a one-year graduate certificate for students to gain the knowledge and skills needed to care for aging adults.
Students will learn geriatric mental health, cultural diversity, thanatology, and therapeutic recreation.
This graduate certificate program is designed to offer students the knowledge and skills needed while working with elderly clients in their professional practice.
Graduates often return to their original field of practice as essential assets within community organizations as they incorporate these new skills to better meet the needs of their clients.
Students will also be provided a 200-hour, interprofessional field placement within a community organization, which includes the completion of a capstone project research paper and poster at the end of the year.
Students will have the opportunity to develop skills in recreation and leadership, developmental disabilities, mental health, thanatology, and social interventions that support quality of life and person-centered care.
