Education Programs
1)
Workshops:
RIGEC offers a series of seven day-long
workshops that can be taken individually
or as a series to fulfill the requirements
for the Certificate in Interdisciplinary
Practice in Geriatrics (CIPG). Workshops
present an interdisciplinary,
evidence-based, and goal-based approach
and cover a wide range of topics in aging,
geriatric care, and quality of life of
older adults. View list of
workshops.
2)
Certificate
of Interdisciplinary Practice in
Geriatrics (CIPG):
To complete the CIPG program, participants
must complete seven required
workshops
for a total of 42 hours* of continuing
education related to the care of older
adults. Workshops missed during one
program cycle may be taken during the next
consecutive cycle.
A
core curriculum developed by RIGEC's
interdisciplinary team provides the
framework for the certificate program and
the individual workshops. The curriculum
is reviewed regularly and updated to
incorporate recent advances in research,
evidence-based/best care practices,
perceived and expressed need for specific
topics, and participant
feedback.
Continuing
education credits are usually offered for
physicians, nurses, social workers,
pharmacists, and long term care
administrators. *The actual number of
contact hours varies by discipline based
on the accrediting/authorizing agencies'
guidelines.
