Through very diverse practical training placements the aim is for the students to combine best practice and multiprofessional teamwork and consultation concerning gerontechnology. The aim is that this can be done both during the practical training and in the student's reports and final practical training seminar.

Learning objectives

At the end of the practical training the student is expected to:

- be acquainted with current gerontechnological solutions
- have experience in participating in gerontechnological development
- demonstrate skills in supervising clients in finding and using aids or services which promote independent functional ability.

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.
