Popis:	The process of professionalization of an occupation includes as a critical step the establishment of a training school and of educational programs for new recruits in the field. In this study, in which gerontology is considered an emerging field, the results of a survey of educational training programs in Indiana are summarized and compared with the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education survey of programs throughout the United States. These surveys indicate considerable disparity in courses and programs among universities across the nation. The basic question raised by these findings is whether a single model of a sound educational program for each level of training and each occupation in the field will be forthcoming.
