The University of Kentucky College of Public
Health Council on Aging and Sanders-Brown Center on Aging is proud to provide
this annual forum for professionals to share the most current
information in geriatrics and gerontology from a
multidisciplinary perspective. When the Summer Series on Aging
began in 1983, it was the only conference of its kind targeting
professionals in aging. Today we have over 350 attending
annually and continue to pursue the highest of educational
goals.
During three days of educational sessions, lectures and
workshops, participants choose from topics on clinical issues,
policy, technology, management, wellness, housing, healthcare,
and service.
The Summer Series on Aging provides innovative and practical
information for professionals in service provision, nursing,
social work, home health, recreation, pharmacy, case management,
nutrition, law, religion, medicine, state and regional aging
planning, senior centers, physical and occupational therapy,
education and other professions in the field.
Upon completion of the Summer Series on Aging, participants will
have the knowledge to: apply new and updated practical
information in geriatrics and gerontology to their own specific
professional responsibilities; describe new and innovative
programs and services in the field of aging that are functioning
effectively throughout the country and select concepts and/or
processes appropriate for replication in other community or
professional settings; and outline current initiatives and
emerging issues in the field of aging and identify a network of
speakers, participants, and programs as available resources.
