WHY SW-5720
I chose SW-5720 because it provides information in the area of Gerontology for this is the area I am studying . It also helps me in my understanding as it relates to aging as well as issues to older persons. I have always had an interested in older adults as well as working closely with them. One of my assignments doing my field placement were going to the nursing homes. Some of the places I visited drew me even closer to them and more interested, such as dealing with their welfare, health, the way they are treated, and the voice to speak out for them just to name a few. I know in the area of Gerontology it is a very high demand for social workers. This older adult population is not going away it is here to stay, they are living a lot longer, so they do need the loving care, health, health care, and treatment just like everyone else.
