Information is provided via several platforms. Our learning management system has a number of on-demand training modules for caregivers in both English and Spanish. Caregiver Training Modules Professional, Hands-On Caregiver Training The Sue and Bill Gross School of Nursing (SON) at UCI and the In-Home Support Services (IHSS) from the Public Authority of Orange County recently developed a unique partnership that allows nursing students to develop hands-on teaching skills and solidify their understanding of how to care for older adults. This program integrates training for Medi-Cal-paid caregivers into the curriculum of our bachelor’s student courses in geriatric nursing and public health nursing/community nursing, as well as the curriculum for the Master’s Entry Program of Nursing. This model, bridging university and community programs, is now an integral part of both the School of Nursing and IHSS administration. Trainings take place in person, although during the COVID-19 pandemic, they were delivered via virtual videos, which are now available on the division’s YouTube channel.
