The NW Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Center – in collaboration with the UW School of Nursing and the VA Geriatric Research, Education, and Clinical Center – is offering the Spring 2019 Geriatric Healthcare Lecture Series!
We are pleased to be able to offer once again this popular series of interdisciplinary lectures on Geriatric Healthcare. These lectures are available locally to students/faculty/staff across our three campuses and community professionals on Tuesdays, April 2 – June 4, from 4:00-5:30 in the UW Health Sciences Building, T-wing, Room T661 (EXCEPT 4/9 – when the lecture will be in T747). The topics are listed at the end of this email. There is no charge for attending any one or all of the lectures, unless you want academic course credit (see “important note” below) or continuing education contact hours (information will be provided at the lectures for CE registration).
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR UW STUDENTS WANTING TO REGISTER FOR THE ONLINE SERIES FOR 1 ACADEMIC CREDIT: Please consult the Time Schedule and register online for either NURS499B (BASW Students, SLN 17729) or NURS599B (MSW, SLN 17747)-“Geriatric Health Promotion” (Barbara Cochrane, instructor). This is an ONLINE 1 credit, interdisciplinary course; the lectures are available “asynchronously” via video stream. If you want to attend the lecture in-person AND get academic credit, that works too.
