Description

Preparing AGPCN students to deliver high-quality, evidence-based care to older adults requires intentional curricular design and progressive application of geriatric competencies. This presentation describes a scaffolded, simulation-enhanced educational strategy that threads older adult content across three sequential semesters to build clinical reasoning, empathy, and diagnostic proficiency.
