About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be joined by Dr. Jane Thompson, an expert in gerontology and the instructor of the new course, "Advanced Skill Certificate in Senior Empathy Training". Dr. Thompson, can you tell us more about your personal experiences that led you to create this course? GUEST: Absolutely, I've spent over two decades working with seniors and have seen firsthand how important empathy and understanding are when providing care. This course is designed to help professionals deepen their connection with elderly populations. HOST: That's wonderful. Could you share some current industry trends relevant to this course? GUEST: Certainly, there's a growing focus on person-centered care, which emphasizes treating seniors with dignity, respect, and compassion. Our course aligns with this trend, equipping learners with the skills to create positive experiences for seniors. HOST: Speaking of challenges, what are some common obstacles faced in the field or while learning/teaching this subject?
