This Post Graduate Diploma will provide you with the skills you need to deal with older persons effectively, promote wellness, and support health if you are a nurse with international training in geriatrics.

The health cohort whose population is getting older is expanding the quickest globally. Currently, seniors make up about 70% of all Canadian patients. Registered nurses need to possess particular knowledge and training to educate, evaluate, and care for these elderly patients effectively. Thanks to this postgraduate diploma in gerontological nursing, you will be equipped with the knowledge and abilities to address the complex physical, social, environmental, cognitive, and spiritual requirements of the aged.

Intercultural interactions between BSN students on campus and graduate nurses from various nations will be possible.

This will encourage in-depth discussion on nursing ideologies, practices, and global health issues. There will be additional opportunities to discuss nursing knowledge at seminars and occasionally during a class engagement.

When you finish this program, you’ll:

• Recognize fundamental geriatric patterns and problems
• Analyze and put to the test a variety of health assessment instruments.
• Think critically and creatively when resolving complex geriatric issues.
• Show examples of ways to educate about aging correctly.
• Gain advocacy expertise at the relational, organizational, and policymaking levels.
