Conference offers insight into aging
By Faith Hampton
“Global Aging: Lessons from Abroad for Ohio” is the theme of a conference on aging, hosted by the Division of Continuing Education on April 11 at Fenn Tower.
Sponsored by the Ohio Association of Gerontology and Education, the annual Ohio Professional and Student Conference on Aging is for professionals and students interested in the field of aging.
The conference will give its participants a chance to express their experiences and interests with the study of aging.
Dr. Robert Butler, the keynote speaker for the conference, is the president, chief executive officer and co-chair of the Alliance for Health and the Future. He is also the professor of geriatrics at New York City’s Mount Sinai Medical Center.
“This conference should be interesting, especially for social workers and nurses,” said Linda Nagy, the continuing education registrar.
Applications are being accepted for continuing education credit for social work, counseling, nursing, nursing home administration, psychology, and marriage and family therapy.
OAGE is encouraging practitioners, educators, administrators, researchers and students to submit abstracts for workshop and poster presentations. Abstract submissions are due by Dec. 10.
