Please email sheryl-mapes@ouhsc.edu if you seek information about the Scholars Program.

The OkGEC Scholars Program involves 70 hours of multi-approach geriatric/gerontological training for health care providers and others in aging-related fields.

All scholars participate in 58 hours of core program components which include:

- Program Orientation

- Structured Interview

- Active Observation

- Teaching an In-Service

- Summer Geriatric Institute

- Grand Rounds / Tidbits

Scholars round-out this rich experience by completing 12 or more hours of education or research on
topics of their choice.

The Scholars Program is largely self-directed, with many core and elective activities guided by the Scholar’s preferences.

Scholars complete their training in 12 months and are recognized in a ceremony at the subsequent Summer Geriatric Institute. (Participation is optional.)

Benefits include:

• A solid, evidence-based educational experience

• A certificate confirming your completion and standing as an Honor Scholar
  
  
• A letter for your employer recognizing your accomplishment

• Access to a network of professional health care providers across Oklahoma

• A credential you can incorporate into your resumé or vitae
