Participants will learn about the history of geriatric care management and the benefits and limitations of a social work model of care management. As the needs of our seniors continue to multiply, geriatric care managers are confronted by a multitude of complex ethical dilemmas in their everyday practice. Issues such as client safety, confidentiality, client autonomy, multiple clients within a family system and medical futility are just a few of the ethical issues that geriatric care managers address in their practice. This workshop will teach participants how to identify and resolve these ethical dilemmas. Case examples and group discussion will be primary teaching models, in addition to didactic methods.
The Continuing Education Program of the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences is pleased to bring you 31 workshops for the Summer 2007 Series. We believe these workshops that have been planned will prepare you for meeting the multiple needs of the individual, organizational and community clients that you are serving.
