Leadership Development Program in Aging and Chronic Care Management

- Event Brochure

This is a 30 hour interdisciplinary (CME) leadership development program in geriatrics and chronic care management for community physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals such as behavioral health professionals and health administration professionals involved in the development and implementation of senior health care services in the Monterey Bay area.

The 30 hour course is comprised of eight (8) lecture/sessions offered between September 2009 and May 2010 with additional six (6) hours of self-learning assignments. Participants are expected to commit to attendance and active participation in all sessions, create a “back home” project, and apply lessons learned in their practice, teaching, and organizational processes as appropriate. The course will be held on Thursdays from 2pm to 5pm at Natividad Medical Center in Salinas.

The course covers a broad spectrum of topics from specific diseases and related problems, to care assessment/care management, service delivery/coordination and health policy issues related to the creation of geriatric and chronic care services.

This opportunity is open to area providers and is especially targeted to providers and staff from MBayGRC affiliate organizations (e.g. Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, Natividad Family Medicine Residency Program,

Health Projects Center, Clinica de Salud, Monterey Peninsula College and Cabrillo College nursing programs) who will provide leadership for creating new geriatric and chronic care services within their respective organizations.
