Enhancing Geriatrics in the Medical School Curriculum |
The
John A. Hartford Foundation of NYC funded a grants initiative through the
AAMC to enhance geriatric medicine in the undergraduate medical curriculum.
Through two competitive cycles, a total of forty
schools were selected to participate in the initiative. This site
is intended to disseminate the work of the grantee schools for use by
medical educators wishing to integrate geriatrics content into their teaching.
