6th Asia Pacific Geriatrics and Gerontology Congress

Gerontology, as defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, is “the comprehensive study of aging and the problems of the aged.” Many people confuse gerontology with geriatrics. Whereas geriatrics focuses strictly on the medical conditions and disease of the aging, gerontology is a multidisciplinary study that incorporates biology, psychology and sociology. Because gerontology deals with multi-faceted aspects of aging, gerontology professionals can be found in a variety of industries including health care, government, nonprofits and the business community.

Gerontology is a multi-disciplinary area which focuses on the study of ageing mechanism and the health complications/problems associated with ageing. More elaborately it can be understood the biochemical changes occurring in the body from middle age and later life.

The aged population has a variety of needs for professionals across a wide array of industries. The study and practice of Gerontology is not strictly for those seeking careers in the health care industry; it’s for any professional looking to expand his or her industry experience into the aging demographic. For professionals seeking a career path working directly with aging individuals, careers can include caregivers, nurses, mental health counselors, activities directors, occupational therapists and other professional services industries. For those professionals seeking a career path in Gerontology that is more behind-the-scenes, careers can include research, program development, education, product development, administration and advocacy.
