Social Worker in Geriatrics Course
What will I learn?
Sharpen your skills in caring for older people through our Social Work in Old Age Care Course. Learn about common health problems among older adults like arthritis and diabetes, and how these problems affect their feet. You'll also learn how to choose or even design shoes that are good for the special needs of older people. We go over new technologies, materials that are good for the environment, and things that make shoes safe. You'll become good at doing surveys and interviews, and how to share what you find out in a clear way. Work with shoe designers to turn your ideas into real solutions that will make older people comfortable and safe.
