Service Learning with King’s University College
A service learning experience provides students of the Masters in Social Work program at King’s University College with an opportunity to connect with early stage dementia clients in the McCormick Day Program. Students benefit from the personal interaction and debriefing opportunities that help shed some light on the experiences and specific care needs of this population.
Post-Graduate Studies/Certificate in Personal Support Work
A post-graduate learning opportunity for students of Fanshawe College’s Personal Support Worker program is being developed by McCormick Dementia Services, Fanshawe College, Western University and the London Health Sciences Centre’s Behavioural Supports Ontario program. Specializing in dementia care, the program involves students learning from and interacting with simulated dementia patients as well as experiencing a day program student placement opportunity.
