“study of the social, psychological and biological aspects of aging. It is distinguished from geriatrics, which is the branch of medicine that studies the diseases of older adults. Gerontologists include researchers and practitioners in the fields of biology, medicine, nursing, dentistry, social work, physical and occupational therapy, psychology, psychiatry, sociology, economics, political science, architecture, pharmacy, public health, housing and anthropology.”

“Graduated in Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Youth and Community Studies, in informal Education and in Managerial Science from the University of Malta.

I chose to work in the Health Sector as it gives me great satisfaction. I believe that a smile is enough to give consolation to patients recovering in hospital.

I work as an electro cardiographer, a member of multi-disciplinary team in cardiology.

I prefer this vocational work, even though I am qualified to work in education or in management.”
