"A proud and resourceful nation can no longer ask its older people to live in constant fear of a serious illness for which adequate funds are not available. We owe them the right of dignity in sickness as well as in health."
-President John F. Kennedy
From Aging...to Saging: the OSU Senior Partners Program is a four year, longitudinal course that will provide you with a foundation so you can provide competent, compassionate care for your older patients. Although you have not chosen your specialty yet, most likely you will spend much of your career caring for older adults. Through this program, we will focus on helping you attain the attitudes, knowledge, and skills so that you can care for these patients in the most responsible and cost-effective manner possible.
Through interactions with your Senior Partner, in-class sessions, readings and a variety of assignments and activities, you will be able to better understand the unique needs of an older population. You will also become more comfortable with the exciting role you will play in helping your older patients remain healthy and independent for as long as possible.
