“Life and aging are the greatest gifts that we could possibly ever have.” Cicely Tyson, age 96. (1924-2021).

 


Hi Readers, AgeDoc here. I want to thank Dr. Harry “Rick” Moody from Fielding Graduate University for forwarding these topics of interest related to aging. I hope you are able to access one or more of these fantastic opportunities!

Are you working in the field of aging? Are you thinking about making a career change and interested in working with older adults but don’t know where to start? If so, consider earning a certification from the Society of Certified Senior Advisors. I have been affiliated with them since 2007.
