Abstract

This article presents outcomes of the Gerontological Initiatives for Visionary Education Project, a federally-funded Allied Health Training grant. The project utilized interdisciplinary mini-conferences, seminars, and community-based placements to train occupational and physical therapy students in geriatrics, needs assessment methodologies, and health promotion program development. Students developed and implemented health promotion programs targeting rural, community-dwelling older adults. A survey of student participants indicated significant student learning outcomes, and a survey of community representatives and interviews with key Project staff indicated positive community and institutional impacts.
