Gerontology

Gerontology is the study of aging, focusing on the psychological, physical, and societal aspects of aging. Coursera's Gerontology skill catalogue provides you with the understanding of the complex dynamics of the aging process. You'll learn about the biological elements of aging, mental health issues specific to the elderly, healthcare policies affecting the elderly, social and cultural perspectives on aging, and ways to improve the quality of later life. This knowledge is instrumental for careers in healthcare, social work, policy-making, and various other fields that work closely with the aging population.
