Foreword

The Bureau of Health Professions of the Health Resources and Services Administration

(HRSA) has a mission to provide leadership to improve the training, distribution, utilization,

and quality of personnel required to staff the nation’s health care system. The Geriatric

Education Centers (GECs), which are funded by HRSA, have become recognized as a

national force in educating health educators and health professionals to provide appropriate

care to older adults in this country. Thus, the Interdisciplinary, Geriatrics and Allied Health

Branch receives frequent requests for educational materials developed by the GECs.

The Bureau is grateful for the assistance of Dr. Joan B. Wood and her staff of the Virginia

GEC for the compilation of this Resource Directory. The GECs are continually involved in the

development of educational programs and resources. The current collection represents

materials available to the public in the Spring of 1998. Individual GECs may be contacted for

more recent materials.

For the convenience of those seeking educational materials on a particular topic, the Directory

has been compiled by content area. IT has also been cross-indexed by GEC and by format.

The format categories are: written materials, electronic multimedia resources, and

presentation packages.

It is our hope that schools of health professions, community agencies, professional

associations, provider groups, and others interested in education/training materials in

geriatrics will benefit from the use of this Directory.
