The NHC GCRP said that it will be the fourth in the nation and the first within a senior care corporation. Robert Adams, NHC's Chairman and CEO said "Since my father, Dr. Carl Adams, founded our company in 1971, we have never settled for just being a good operator of health care centers, instead we are constantly striving for ways to enhance the service level of care to our customers. This program will not only enhance the skills of therapists who are currently working for NHC, but will also attract therapists from across the country who have special interests in working with the geriatric population."
The GCRP trains and equips therapists to be leaders in geriatric rehabilitation by developing knowledge and skills in direct patient care, management of rehabilitation programs, and teaching. The 12-month program utilizes small group work, guided independent study, continuing education workshops, mentoring by clinical faculty, and teaching opportunities for a 1,648 hours minimum of clinical study in order to prepare residents for the Geriatric Specialist Exam. Therapists passing the exam become certified Geriatric Clinical Specialists.
Middle Tennessee State University's Gerontology and Psychology programs have been lending expertise to the program, offering residents a first-hand look at research in Geriatrics. The program also utilizes the knowledge and experience of area physicians, physical therapists and other clinicians to further enhance the program.
According to Gerald Coggin, Senior Vice President, "The program was developed, and is currently directed by, Linda Bloodworth, PT, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Bloodworth recognized the opportunity such a program would provide in developing specialized clinicians, which in turn improves overall patient care. By training specialized therapists, this program will enhance the quality of therapy services provided to our patients."
