Education, community development, and research
The Geriatric Psychiatry Program promotes the education and skills enhancement of primary care providers at local and regional levels. Student placements are available across the full spectrum of services.
In collaboration with community partners, the program identifies developmental projects and other strategies to enhance the capacity and integration of the care system.
Professional staff are engaged in clinical research as well as program and systems evaluation. The dissemination of research findings and best practice outcomes are part of the program's mandate.
