Innehåll
Through diverse practical training placements it is possible for the student to see best practice concerning one specific area for example visual impairment or functional disability. When acquainted with current gerontechnological solutions within this specific area it is possible for the student in the practical training seminar in the end of the course to get an overview of how to create enabling environments for the challenges and opportunities of ageing. It is crucial to learn to see multiprofessional teamwork and consultation as the key to the solutions to be made within gerontechnological best practice. When having this perspective the student can become an expert within current gerontechnological development.
