New IGSW Online Course

The Institute for Geriatric Social Work Announces A New Course Open to the Public Today!

 *   ISP Course: Team Approach: Working Across Disciplines ($80, 4 CEUs)

This course provides basic information about the use of interdisciplinary teams in caring for older adults and about the role of the social service practitioner. Teams are a standard approach to care in both inpatient and outpatient health care settings. They are also the norm in many social service agencies and an important asset when working with older adults. The interdisciplinary team creates opportunities for input from a variety of sources and disciplines for the older adult, which would not be available when working in isolation. In order for teams to function well and provide the desired outcome, they must include the following features: good communication between members, respect for one another's expertise, competent leadership, shared understanding of the role and function of other team members, mutual goals, and plans for resolution of the older adult's problems or needs. This course will help social service practitioners to understand the different forms of teams and ways of helping to achieve good team communication. The course also provides information about the challenges of working within a team structure and suggestions and strategies for improving teamwork.
