Stanford Direct Care Worker Longevity, HEalthspan Aging, Dementia, and End-of-life CaRe (LEADER) Program was launched to promote health equity for the most vulnerable and underserved populations of older adults in the community. We give direct care workers the opportunity to receive the key knowledge and skills to provide the best possible care to the patients they serve.
The Stanford Direct Care LEADER training program offers the training in person, virtual, or hybrid formats. It is a 50-hour program for students to learn and acquire skills over a 12-week period. The LEADER training program consists of four parts:
- didactic learning
- skill acquisition
- mentored field project
- ongoing learning and mentoring
It covers different areas related to aging, such as general health challenges that come with the aging process, dementia, delirium, fall prevention, nutrition, and how to promote health and longevity.
