Clinical Teaching Modules

Integrating Care of Older Adult Patients in Student Clinical Rotations in Hospitals: Resources for Clinical Faculty

The Hartford Institute and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) have prepared two modules specifically created to help clinical nursing faculty teaching undergraduate nursing students in hospitals to integrate care of older adults. Funded by the Jewish Foundation for Education of Women, these modules use a case-study design with an “evolving case” progression. The modules take a faculty member through a typical clinical day on a medical/surgical unit and provide tips on how to integrate content on assessment and dementia into the clinical assignment, the pre-conference, bedside teaching, post-conference, charting and clinical evaluation.
