ANNOUNCEMENTS
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome the newest members to the NAGE/NAGEC network. Our organization is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of older adults through health professions education by supporting Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Programs (GWEPs), Geriatric Academic Career Awardees (GACAs) and Geriatric Education Centers (GECs). Your membership allows the network to improve the education, supply, distribution, diversity, and quality of health professionals serving older adults, and to educate policy makers and the public about the need for geriatric education. Check this page for current information on news and events of interest to NAGE and NAGEC members including Brian Lindberg's Washington Posts. Outdated information and past Washington Posts are available on the Public Policy and Archive Page.
