A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Concept of ageing

The concept of ageing in geriatric education covers the definition of ageing, the distinction between chronological, biological, functional, and social ageing, and the main theoretical frameworks that explain why and how people age. Mastering these ideas helps students assess patient needs, design interventions, and understand the broader context of elder care.
