The 7th edition of the Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education (AGHE) Gerontology and Geriatrics Curricular Standards and Guidelines in Higher Education is now digitally published.Marilyn R. Gugliucci has been the editor in chief for this book since 2005 updating the 4th, 5th and 6th editions. The 7th edition required a comprehensive re-write as the evolution of the field of aging demanded an increased breadth and depth of content in both gerontology and geriatrics education, along with a focus on standards and guidelines for competency-based education (CBE). This publication offers tools to identify and implement CBE in programs and to develop students’ competencies needed in the workforce. This book is an integral resource for colleges and universities, including technical schools and community colleges, nationally and internationally. Program directors and coordinators, faculty, deans, and administrative leadership at educational institutions will find these guidelines essential when implementing and revising programs in liberal arts, the sciences, and health professions education. The curricular standards and guidelines also serve to guide existing programs through academic or institutional reviews for Program of Merit (POM) designation, providing matrices for mapping health professions and gerontology competency-based education and documentation.
Dr. Gugliucci also co-authored 5 of the 12 chapters.
