    Author: Ranney M, Goodman CC, Tan P, Glezakos A.
    Journal: J Gerontol Soc Work; 2006; 48(1-2):83-96. PubMed ID: 17200072.
    Abstract:
    The growth in the older adult population and the demand for better trained geriatric social workers challenge the existing curricula of social work programs. The Geriatric Enrichment Grant funded by the John A. Hartford foundation has provided financial support for curricular reform. Curriculum reform is a challenging undertaking at any level. Each program and educational institution experiences the process of curriculum reform in unique ways. This paper describes one program's experience of curriculum reform for the purpose of infusing geriatric content.
