Abstract
To enhance mutual understanding between the social work and nursing professions and to improve the care of the aged an interdisciplinary approach to teaching was instituted under the direction of the writers. Difficulties with educational and administrative problems relating to interdisciplinary efforts were resolved through understanding and cooperation. Students exposed to the interdisciplinary approach not only learned to work well with each other but exhibited improved perceptions of the aged and interest in careers devoted to services to the aged.Keywords
