Orientation
Thank you for visiting the WAGECC Learners’ Explorer,
our online geriatric syllabus! The WAGECC Learners’
Explorer was developed to connect students and professionals
with the finest online resources in the field of geriatrics
and gerontology. The WAGECC Learners’ Explorer
covers several key disciplines in the field, offering
an enriching interdisciplinary experience for Learners
seeking enhanced knowledge of a variety of aging issues.
We hope that by using the Learners’ Explorer,
you will:
- Learn where to look for the latest information
on a specific aging issue
- Be able to use information found on the Explorer
for teaching and handouts
- Update yourself on important topics and best practices
- Brief yourself on important aging topics not normally
encountered in your day
to day experiences
The WAGECC Learners’ Explorer is divided into
sections, and the sections are organized into Fundamentals,
Current Research, and Additional Resources. In each
section, links are provided to articles, charts, question-and-answers,
and bibliographies from established sources of health
and medical information, including NIH, NIMH, and other
academic and professional institutions. Whenever possible,
the Learners’ Explorer sections also link to NIH
Consensus Statements, which are the product of independent
panels of experts convened by NIH to encapsulate the
current state of scientific knowledge.
To use the WAGECC Learners’ Explorer, simply
click the link to the section you wish to explore, and
then click the links to reach the various web pages
on which the Learners’ Explorer resources are
located.
We welcome your feedback on your experience using the
WAGECC Learners’ Explorer. Please email us with
your comments and suggestions at wagecc@gwu.edu.
Happy Exploring!
