Leading the Way in Naturopathic Gerontology: Current Status and Future Possibilities
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
his educational void started with the lack of training in and exposure to seniors' health topics at the naturopathic medical school level, and it is our understanding that this still has not changed.For leaders in naturopathic gerontology to emerge, it requires exposure to this field within the core curriculum of the naturopathic educational program.In reviewing the curriculum of the Canadian naturopathic colleges there was a lack of content related to geriatrics, gerontology or seniors' health.The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) does not include geriatrics/ gerontology as part of the core curriculum. 1 When questioned about this deficit, we were informed that although geriatric topics are currently infused in many of the courses, there is no course that focuses on geriatrics specifically.2 However, the core and/or elective curriculum does include such special topics as: pregnancy, labour and newborn care; pediatrics; emergency medicine; mental health; and sexual and reproductive health. 1 Our opinion is that this is a serious deficit that needs to be fixed.Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine (BINM), which will soon merge with CCNM, does include a survey course on geriatrics in its curriculum, but it is only 6 weeks long.3 It is our experience that this is not sufficient to cover all the essential topics of aging in adequate detail, such as physiological changes, metabolism changes, polypharmacy, diseases of aging, caregiver stress, mental health, ageism, end of life topics, spirituality and meaning, and the list goes on.Upon graduation, we felt unprepared to deal with this patient population.Treating a condition is one aspect, but there Abstract:The need for strong, compassionate advocates for seniors' health has never been more urgent and obvious than now, in the middle of the current COVID-19 pandemic.Care for seniors is an emerging area of study within the naturopathic medical community.For this to evolve further, it will take individuals with leadership skills and a passion for the elderly and their health.While there are other areas of focus that have been more developed within the profession (such as women's health, pediatrics and care around specific diseases), seniors' health brings together a unique set of challenges to naturopathic practitioners.This is a set of challenges that must be faced, despite a lack of adequate training and experience.By bringing awareness of the skills and experience needed for naturopathic doctors (NDs) to embrace leadership and advancements in this area, we hope that more NDs will demand improved education, choose to focus care on this greatly underserviced community, and make great changes in our world.www.cand.ca

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
