The Council of Ontario Universities has released a series of reports that aim to identify priorities and actions for the reform of Ontario’s strategic initiatives regarding the health of seniors. “Ontario universities play a key role in educating health providers for the needs of today and tomorrow. The release of these reports continues to move forward toward the discussion opened at the Better Aging: Ontario Education Summit on how we can advance the care and support for older Ontarians,” said COU President Bonnie M Patterson. The reports cover topics including core curricula for entry-to-practice health and social care worker education, perceptions of practitioners and practitioner organizations of gaps in senior care competencies, patient and caregiver perceptions of educational needs, and continuing professional development. COU News Release
