Learners' Explorer

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.
