This program introduces Wayne State University’s medical, pharmacy, nursing, occupational therapy and social work students to team care for older adults. Students assess an older adult’s health and social needs.
Faculty from the School of Medicine, College of Pharmacy, Occupational Therapy Program, School of Social Work and College of Nursing are involved in the planning and implementation of this program. Currently teams of three students from two or three different disciplines will do the home visit of an older adult. The students are year two medical students, year 2 and 3 pharmacy students, bachelors and masters in social work students, occupational therapy students and nursing students (approximately 620 students).
During this 60 minute home visit, students ask questions about daily activities, nutrition, medications, family health, and/or social supports. If an older adult has a third year pharmacy student as a member of the team, s/he will also receive a follow-up visit during which a medication calendar and medication recommendations will be discussed. This second visit takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
Over 450 older adults have been recruited for this program to help us teach our students. On average, 250 of them are assessed in their homes annually. The older adults appreciate the time they get to teach students, not only about their own aging but what it means to be a health care practitioner who is caring and willing to do home visits for those who may be homebound. Some older adults report they also see a benefit for themselves.
Each year we need to recruit additional older adults for this program. Older adults need to be living independently at home, able to answer survey questions, and willing for students to visit in your home or a location of your choice. If you are interested in becoming a teacher of health care students or need more information about the program, please contact us.
