2006 Continuing Education |
The
University of Maine Center on Aging is proud to
announce the 5th annual interdisciplinary continuing
education program during the Spring of 2006. This
year the CoA is offering two exciting opportunities
in learning: The Professional Excellence in Geriatrics
Series (PEGS) and the Geriatric Organizational
Leadership Development Seminar (GOLD).
Each
seminar is designed with the professional service
provider in mind. Recognized leaders in geriatrics
present separate sessions in their field of
expertise. Sessions utilize a variety of educational
methods including lecture, group discussion, panel
presentation, and analysis of case studies.
Participants
receive a certificate of attendance for each
individual session using the University of Maine's
Continuing Education Unit. |
