*NEW! SEARCH Student Project for UVM COM and Nurse Practitioner Students!

This is a four week summer student health professions interdisciplinary geriatric learning opportunity. Students will be connected with two UVM COM affiliated Family Medicine Preceptors in Brattleboro and Townshend who are practicing interdisciplinary care of frail, isolated elders. Students will live in the region and acquire skills and knowledge on the complexity and interdisciplinary structure of elder care.

Students will be introduced to the variety of environments in which Vermont elders function – primary care practices, long term care, assisted living centers, adult day, private homes, and hospitals. Final project will be a paper on a topic of choosing, related to elder care.

Student Stipend is available. For more information and an application contact Susan White at 802-885-2126, ext 205 or swhite@svahec.org  Thank you.
