Program Overview

Chronic illness is a growing challenge in ageing societies, affecting not only individuals but also families, caregivers, communities, and health systems.

This interdisciplinary, field-based course examines how long-term illness is managed across family, community, and healthcare settings. Students explore dementia, mobility limitations, and other non-communicable diseases, while considering caregiver burden, quality of life, social support, and community-based approaches to care.
