Abstract

As the older adult population continues to increase, healthcare professionals who specialize in caring for this population will continue to be in demand. Collaborative interprofessional teamwork is of utmost importance in the care of the older adult patient. The purpose of this curriculum activity was to determine if the use of an aging simulation game improved empathy of nursing, recreation therapy, and social work students toward older adults. A total of 185 students participated in the simulation. Results indicated that the simulated experience improved the level of empathy among interprofessional students toward older adults.
