The University of Washington Northwest Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Center (NW GWEC), the University of Washington’s Continuing Nursing Education, and the VA Puget Sound Healthcare System Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center (GRECC) are partnering to bring a series of continuing education programs on geriatric health in primary care to health professionals in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Alaska.

Nationally and regionally recognized NW GWEC faculty will present each lecture and facilitate discussion. The series will assist providers in developing and enhancing health promotion interventions to prevent disease and postpone further disability for the older adults they serve. This series will give primary care providers the opportunity to access valuable information.

All lectures are broadcast live on Tuesdays 4:00-5:30pm Pacific
