Abstract
The increased training needs for community health nurses (CHNs) working with frail elderly offer a variety of challenges in staff development. Santa Clara County addressed these challenges with an innovative model, and geriatric assessment skills building program presented to 40 CHNs. The model uses a team teaching approach, a preceptorship and adult learning theory, making it readily adaptable to a variety of community health settings.Keywords
