The University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing (UPSON) offers an undergraduate education in nursing through an integrated curriculum that incorporates liberal arts, comprehensive professional practice, and focused scholarly course work in nursing. The curriculum emphasizes aging population and the nursing response required - from generalist clinical care across the health care continuum to health and social policy. Gerontological content is integrated across the curriculum and through each curricular element as appropriate to student experience, the health care continuum, and bio-psycho-social alterations. Curricular highlights detailed in this application include a required upper division course on care of the older adult; study abroad at Oxford-Brookes University, Oxford, UK; the upper division case study elective on "Living with Dementia"; the required senior level course that incorporates self-selected clinical placement enabling students who desire careers in gerontological nursing to pursue more extensive preparation; and the senior inquiry course which provides the avenue for scholarly literature review on topics relevant to student interest and faculty research in gerontological nursing science. These highlights are reviewed within the context of outlining the significance, objectives, innovation, clinical relevance, and replicability of the gerontological components of the curriculum.
