  • Retooling for an Aging America: Institute of Medicine Report:
    The number of older Americans will double by 2030, yet the healthcare workforce is too small and unprepared to meet this growing need, according to a recent Institute of Medicine report. The report committee has recommended a three-prong approach for the reforms that must take place by the target date of 2030-the year when all baby boomers will have turned 65 or older.

a few words from our director

"Today's aging population is facing challenges and issues never imagined by their parents. To help them navigate their choices and options, social workers can provide information and guidance . And SWLI is doing its part to respond to changing demographics by proactively supporting and educating highly-qualified social workers who are able to meet this urgent need."

"The Partnership Program is an amazing way to enrich learning while in the MSW program. This program facilitates the students exposure to the varying work that gerontology social workers do. This exposure combined with the extra attention and support by professors ensured adequate preparation for me as I entered the work force."
