Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) provide primary care to older adults, yet most FQHC providers do not have formal training in geriatrics. A geriatric educational program for interprofessional health care providers was established at a community health center called Fair Haven Community Health Care (FHCHC). Providers' self-reported confidence in caring for older adults, and access to and satisfaction with professional development at the workplace were surveyed after 14 sessions. Thirty-two of 48 participants (67%) completed the survey. FHCHC health care providers had high baseline confidence in caring for older adults and demonstrated a trend towards increased confidence after 14 sessions. Participants' access to and satisfaction with professional development at the workplace increased significantly from 65% vs 96%, (P = 0.005) and 62% vs 96%, (P = 0.003), respectively. Establishment of an onsite geriatric education program improved FHCHC health care providers access to, and satisfaction with, professional development at the workplace. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
