The science of gerontology conducts scientific research on the processes of aging and old age and develops aging policies based on these findings. It evaluates theoretical approaches related to aging and old age, creates new ones, conducts applied studies, and analyzes aging processes from an interdisciplinary perspective, considering social, economic, and cultural dimensions. Students who successfully complete the gerontology program earn the title of "Gerontologist." Gerontologists organize work, evaluate gerontological practices and services in terms of effectiveness and efficiency, initiate projects, manage processes, and conduct professional development activities. A gerontologist acts on findings from empirical gerontological research, utilizes theories from other sciences, considers the needs of the older adults and their environment, and identifies their strengths and issues. They conduct research aimed at solving identified problems and protecting and enhancing strengths. Gerontologists work in collaboration with doctors, nurses, psychologists, sociologists, lawyers, architects, engineers, geriatricians, economists, business managers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, family economists, social workers, educational scientists, health technicians, care technicians, and other professions related to aging. They work in institutions providing elderly care services, as well as institutions and organizations offering social and health services to older adults, covering social, economic, legal, cultural, and medical dimensions.
