• UNIVERSITY OF UTAH MEDIA RELEASE katie.schrier@nurs.utah.edu U OF U GERONTOLOGY INTERDISCPLINARY PROGRAM TURNS 40 (September 25, 2012) In 1972, the Rocky Mountain Gerontology Program, a five-school consortium, including the University of Utah, was established to offer credentials to students interested in the field of aging. Today, the U’s Gerontology Interdisciplinary Program, as it is now known, is celebrating 40 years of excellence in preparing professionals in the field. The program's academic structure is designed to offer an interdisciplinary environment in which an individual with an interest in aging can sculpt their educational experience. “The Gerontology Interdisciplinary Program brings together the unique and rich perspectives of a variety of fields, making it possible for students to sculpt their educational experience to suit their interests,” said Katarina Felsted, instructor (clinical), the program’s director. “This wealth and breadth of knowledge and resources helps build diverse leaders in the field of gerontology—and opens graduates up to myriad professional opportunities.” According to Felsted, the relevancy of gerontology for an aging society is both timely and critical. Between 2000 and 2030, the older population in the US is expected to more than double from 35 million to 71.5 million, with people over age 85 representing the fastest growing segment. “As we celebrate 40 years, the program honors the efforts of those who have worked and served to make it what it is today,” she said. “It is the result of many, many people having dedicated their time and effort to sustain the field of gerontology at the University of Utah. As we look to the next 40 years of the Gerontology Interdisciplinary Program and the rapidly changing needs of an aging society in our community, the program is poised to build on its foundation of excellence.” To learn more, visit www.nursing.utah.edu/gerontology. 09/25/2012.
