Today, people are living longer than ever before, and as the baby boomers age, the number of older adults is expected to increase exponentially over the coming decade. To best meet the needs of an aging population and to improve the health of older adults, it is critical to train nurses, social workers and other healthcare professional on the special healthcare needs of the elderly population. The accelerated online geriatric healthcare certificate will allow healthcare professionals to gain invaluable knowledge of the aging population, including the social, biological, and psychological aspects of aging. The certificate consists of five courses, each six weeks in length. The online format provides flexibility that will allow students to balance their work or family obligations while advancing their education and career. Show More

PLEASE NOTE:

If there are fewer than eight enrollments in the training program, only the "Enrollments" number will be displayed; all other data is hidden in order to help protect the students' identities. The "Employment Outcomes" are calculated using information from Wisconsin's Unemployment Insurance Wage database. Most employers are required to report certain employment information to the State of Wisconsin, including quarterly wage information for their employees. Students whose information could not be verified in this database are excluded from these outcomes. If a "0" shows for any of these outcomes, it means that none of the students' information could be verified.

MAKING SENSE OF THE EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES:

"Average quarterly wages" means the total wages earned in a three-month period by all students who completed the program ("completers"), divided by the total number of completers.

"Median quarterly wages" means all the completers' quarterly wages are placed in order from lowest to highest and then we identify the student's wages in the middle. This information is provided because averages can be greatly influenced by really high and low wage earners.

To estimate monthly wages, divide the quarterly wages by three.
