The Professional Development Program (PDP) is a 52 hour course designed to provide health care professionals a unique learning experience in geriatrics and gerontology. The course is taught using an interdisciplinary model that includes: didactics, intensives, clinical observational sites, case studies, and an Enrichment Series. Graduates of the PDP receive CEU's and become WAGECC Fellows. Fellows may pursue further training by participating in the 26 hour Fellows Education Continuum (FEC).

WAGECC also sponsors an Annual Best Practices Forum and co-sponsors several seminars each year in partnership with area institutions.
