Welcome

The aim of this exciting new online program is to educate nurses about common health problems faced by older adults and to improve the leadership skills of nurses working in geriatrics. Additionally, educational efforts will target issues of health disparities faced by older populations including those in medically underserved areas, older minorities, elderly in rural communities, and nursing home residents.

All modules are offered free of charge and there is no registration fee! Continuing Education Units are available for each module (CNE and SW-CE). Modules are completely web-based.

UTMB Continuing Nursing Education is approved as a provider of continuing education in nursing by the Texas Nurses Association, an accredited approver of the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission of Accreditation. This approval meets Type 1 criteria for mandatory continuing education requirements towards relicensure as established by the Board of Nurse Examiners for the State of Texas.

Mission

To provide high-quality, online continuing nursing education in geriatrics and to improve health care for older adults.
