Our society is aging, and this demographic change necessitates that all social workers have basic competency in gerontology. This article describes the results of a competency survey conducted in 2000, and how these results helped transform basic social work curricula and enhance gerontology-related resources. Results were used to encourage and assist social work faculty to infuse gerontological content into social work curriculum, which helped practitioners to gain the necessary knowledge and skills to meet the needs of a growing aging population. This social work education framework can be replicated in an effort to infuse gerontology content throughout other disciplines.
我们的社会正在老龄化，这一人口结构变化要求所有社会工作者具备老年学的基本能力。本文描述了2000年进行的一项能力调查的结果，以及这些结果如何帮助改变基础社会工作课程并增加与老年学相关的资源。调查结果被用于鼓励和协助社会工作教员将老年学内容融入社会工作课程，这有助于从业者获得必要的知识和技能，以满足不断增长的老年人口的需求。这种社会工作教育框架可以被复制，以便将老年学内容融入其他学科。
