GEC-AARP - Observing and Addressing Financial and Material Exploitation of Older Adults

Welcome

This course was produced through collaboration between the University of New England Maine Geriatric Education Center and AARP. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, Grant Number D31HP80016 provided partial funding for this project.

Course Description:
Consisting of nine modules, this course was developed for health professionals, health professions faculty and students who want to have a better understanding of financial and material exploitation/abuse against older adults–whether committed by family members, friends, individuals in a position of trust, strangers or caregivers. Financial and material exploitation occurs when there is an illegal use of a vulnerable individual’s resources for another person’s profit or gain. Each module of this CME Course is approved for 1.5 Category 1B AOA, Category 1 AMA PRA Credits and UNE contact hours by the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine.
