Students spend four hours a week in a practicum placement at a designated social service community agency under the supervision of an agency field supervisor. Through this experience, they develop and practice professional behaviours and learn how particular agencies meet the needs of older adults. Graded S/U. Corequisite(s): GERO 1100.

Registration in this course is restricted to students admitted to the Diploma in Gerontology and Certificate in Social Service Worker (Gerontology).
