The graying of America’s population is resulting in a shortage of people trained to meet the unique needs of these older adults. To close this gap, University of Colorado Denver’s Anchutz Medical Campus is taking part in Careers in Aging Week, which will take place from April 13th – 19th, 2008. The event is an annual joint venture between The Gerontological Society of America and the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education. On the Anschutz Medical Campus the Geriatric Health Student Interest Group, the Career Options Student Academic Community and the Geriatric Health Student Academic Community sponsor the event.

Careers in Aging Week activities will provide important information about the wide range of healthcare careers in the field of aging and aging research, and raise awareness about older populations and their needs.

By 2020, there will be 53.2 million Americans older than age 65 – forming 15.8 percent of the population – and 6.5 million of those will be over 85, according to the Census Bureau. The array of industries that will be affected by this shift is quite diverse. The graying of this country’s population is resulting in a shortage of people trained to meet the unique needs of these older adults.

The Careers in Aging Week activities on the Anschutz Medical Campus will include lunch lectures highlighting the career options in several healthcare professions, a display of library resources relating to aging and a listing on the library’s online listings in the aging field. For more information please email Rebecca Case at Rebecca.Case@uchsc.edu.

In response, NIH released a revised Public Access Policy that requires investigators to deposit an electronic version of articles resulting from NIH funding to PubMed Central upon acceptance for publication. PubMed Central is the NIH digital archive of full-text biomedical and life sciences journal articles that allows free and unrestricted access. Manuscripts will need to be made publicly available no later than twelve months after the date of publication.

Previously, submission of manuscripts resulting from NIH-funded research was voluntary. The new requirement goes into effect on April 7, 2008.    >> Click for more
