Geriatric Team Leadership Project

IFAS is collaborating with the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) to evaluate and disseminate findings on the Geriatric Team Leadership program, which teaches nurses how to transfer evidence-based clinical knowledge and skills into practice in geriatric long-term care settings. The program also provides advanced clinical and leadership training to certified nursing assistants. KUMC will be working with several providers in the Kansas area to provide the training.

The project will use a train-the-trainer model of geriatric education, with a focus on dissemination of geriatric knowledge and skills. The program is designed on adult learning principles. The evaluation will assess improvements in clinical knowledge, critical thinking and leadership skills.

Moore to come in Spring 2008
