Colaboración de aprendizaje intergeneracional

El Programa Colaborativo de Aprendizaje Intergeneracional es un programa práctico de educación para la salud que ayuda a los estudiantes de la Universidad de Ciencias de la Salud SUNY Downstate a comprender y cuestionar las visiones negativas sobre el envejecimiento.

​Developed in partnership with faculty across the five schools at SUNY Downstate’s Health Science University, students will:

  • Receive 4Ms training to support their healthcare learning.

  • Work in small groups (3-5 students) at participating older adult centers.

  • Learn from older adults about the lived experiences of aging in Brooklyn. 

  • Teach older adults about healthy aging, age-friendly care, and dementia care.

  • Assess older adults’ social determinants of health, "SDoH," and link them to community resources. 

  • Work with staff at centers to create a calendar of educational and physical activities that meet the needs of older adults to support healthy aging.

 

The 4Ms Curriculum includes: Overview of the 4Ms and other clinical and prevention topics. 

  1. What Matters

  2. Medication

  3. Mentation

  4. Mobility

  5. Geriatric Syndromes
