安大略省社会服务工作者大学文凭-老年医学

社会服务工作者的“老年医学”计划整合了知识库
Statistics Canada reports that people over the age of 65 account for nearly 20 percent of the total population. This has created a demand for trained professionals to work with older adults. A lot of our students have multiple career opportunities to pursue upon graduation. This two-year diploma program combines the knowledge, professional values and skill sets of social service to assist older adults to maintain independence and a good quality of life. The program focuses on a holistic strength-based approach, current legislation and best practices.<br>Along with your studies in mandated government initiatives and service delivery models for working with seniors, you will have the opportunity to apply your knowledge in a 220-hour field placement and participate in additional educational training. You will engage in personal reflection and growth, work within a team, apply professional ethics, and successfully achieve the Ministry Vocational Learning outcomes so you can confidently enter the workforce. Once you complete the program, you are eligible to apply for registration in the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (see below for more details).
