Consortium Members

For over two decades, the unique partnership between San Jose Statue University and SGEC has increased ethnogeriatric content for faculty and students at SJSU. This content has taken the form of didactic and experiential training in six university departments/programs (nursing, social work, occupational therapy, nutrition, gerontology, and communication disorders) including clinical sites in nursing homes, chronic and acute disease hospitals, ambulatory care centers, senior centers, and other aging-related sites. The partnership has also resulted in joint projects with community based agencies, publications, presentations at professional meetings, faculty development opportunities, mentorships, and numerous other collaborations. Current SJSU faculty affiliates include:
