GET-AGE

The Gerontology Education & Training Alliance (GET-AGE) is a statewide collaborative partnership that is interested in making more gerontology training available to those who work with older adults. If you do not require professional CEU or CME credits, several of our training modules are currently available at no charge on the web and can be found at http://training.geron.uga.ed u. These modules may be of interest to family caregivers as well. In addition, some of our partners in GET-AGE also offer training. Members of this collaborative partnership currently include: Aging Services of Georgia, Georgia AARP, Georgia Alzheimer’s Association, Georgia Division of Aging Services, Georgia LEADS, Georgia State University Gerontology Institute, and the University of Georgia Institute of Gerontology. Funding from the Healthcare Georgia Foundation has provided partial support for GET-AGE initiatives, including the Aging 101 for Georgia video released in 2009. This video, directed by Dr. Anne Glass on behalf of GET-AGE, provides key information about aging. The video, and accompanying resource list, can be viewed at http://training.geron.uga.edu. A free DVD version is also available. Click here for more information on GET-AGE.
