Geriatric Care Management Online
Job opportunities in geriatrics and long term care are expected to grow by more than 35% - ranking among the most rapidly growing employment areas, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The home and community based care sector has grown to approximately four hundred million dollars per year and the provision of services in long term care is estimated to be as much as two billion dollars per year.
To meet the demand for geriatric care professionals needed to manage this care, the University of Florida offers both an on-line Graduate Certificate program and an on-line specialty Master's degree.
Upon completion of either program graduates will have the expanded knowledge required for either developing their own private practice Professional Geriatric Care Management Business or advancing their career in management of Long Term Care Facilities, Home Health Care or Public Service Agencies. Both program options also are designed to meet the educational requirements for those seeking to become a Certified Geriatric Care Manager through the International Commission on Health Care Certification.
