GRN 503 - Health Policy Issues of an Aging Population

This course focuses on the social, economic, and health challenges confronting our society with regard to the aging of the population from policy and program planning perspectives. This course will consider the historical context out of which the current aging infrastructure has evolved. Aging-related policies will be examined in the context of a scarce resource environment, special interest group politics, and matters of equity, social justice, and fairness. This course partially satisfies the requirements for obtaining the University of Maine’s Interprofessional Graduate Certificate in Gerontology.
