Utilizing a gerontological nursing clinician as a consultant to teach nursing care of aging people.
People over the age of 65 are an increasingly important part of the health care system.

Utilizing a gerontological nurse clinician to role model and teach other faculty is one way of developing this expertise and enlarging the cadre of able faculty.
