The Care for Elders project has developed 16 interdisciplinary case based educational modules (for more information on these modules please see attached poster) that can be used anywhere in B.C. as they can be run by non-expert facilitators. Modules are paper problem and evidence based, interprofessional and linked to other reading or computer learning sites as is appropriate. The modules are given in small group learning opportunities with pre-reading and flexible schedules. Attitude, knowledge and skills objectives will all be built into the modules. The modules are revised on a regular basis. Facilitation of modules will occur in academic tertiary care centres and in small rural communities.
