Student-Senior Partner Program
The Student-Senior Partners (SSP) program is an innovative independent study course in which pre-clinical medical and pharmacy students are matched with older adults from the community.
The purpose of the program is to empower medical and pharmacy students to meet the unique needs of older persons, who will constitute a large percentage of their future patient populations, and to provide students with an early and essential exposure to older patients to develop awareness and understanding of geriatric issues and needs.
