Objectives Review

In the design of this course we hoped to achieve the following objectives:

• Develop an empathic perspective of the older adult’s experience
• Recognize commonly held biases and attitudes towards older adults
• Identify strategies for effective communication with older adults

You’ve completed the course!

We hope that you found it helpful and thought-provoking.

The Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Toronto is conducting an exit survey for this course to better understand how participants are benefitting from the Practice Readiness E-learning Program (PReP). Your participation in the survey is important and will help us identify areas where the PReP program is helping people the most and any areas that can be improved.

All of the information collected from the survey participants will be summarized and no names will be reported on, so please let us know how you really feel. Participation in the survey is completely voluntary, but we hope that you see the benefit of participating.

We need and value your feedback.
