California State University, Fresno and the California Geriatric Education Center have developed a program for physicians, nurses, social workers, public health educators and other aging network professionals who have responsibilities for meeting the needs of the increasing elder population.

The program will meet Feb. 5-6, March 5 and 26, and April 2. Full credit attendance is required for CEU for RN, CHES, MFCC and LCSW.

Participants will gain knowledge about issues facing elders, including implications of recent research findings, community resources, grandparenting and critical needs facing seniors living in urban and rural communities.

The cost of attendance for the entire program is $175. One-day only admission is $110. Student admission is $75, or $25 for one-day admission.
