Area Agencies on Aging do remarkable work to support aging in place. Proud of our 3 AAA partners who are teaching about this with primary care trainees. See our @AGSJournal pub to learn how to make this happen and view the curriculum. @nwgwec #geriatrics

I love July 1 - I believe it is one of my favorite “holidays.” It’s the day we welcome new #UW #geriatrics fellows. Please welcome these new (soon to be) geriatricians. They are amazing.

My favorite tradition as program director is getting to add a photo from each class of #UW #geriatrics fellows to my shelf of fame. Love these photos!! Full of the best people.

So much fun celebrating fellow graduation. Congrats #UW #geriatrics fellows! So glad to have 4 fantastic new geriatricians heading off to change the world.

@The_GarciaLabUW @Sofy_Jar @ICFSRcongress Well done @Sofy_Jar!!

Project ECHO for #geriatrics is having exponential impact! So proud of this team of #GWEPs who painted a picture of how #HRSA Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Programs are using @ProjectECHO to rapidly create an interprofessional, age-friendly workforce across the country.

And if you are a medical student or resident and want to choose your specialty by high job satisfaction AND most fun way to review the evidence - really #geriatrics is the only choice. Note posts above. #AGS24

I LOVE the annual literature update. Indeed they are just warming up at #AGS24. What will be the first song?!

Here’s the article that inspired @AlexSmithMD’s song pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38101923/

@AlexSmithMD @EWidera @geri_doc Rounding it out with the importance of sitting when talking to patients. @SusanMerel this is reminds me of your article pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27378679/. We just need more chairs.

@MC98144 @Sofy_Jar So much fun!

@KateBUW @Sofy_Jar Looks like fun!

So nice to celebrate #AGS24 with #UW #geriatrics fellows, faculty, and staff! Lucky to work with them all. A taste of an in person conference close to home. @Sofy_Jar

@MLRobertsonMD @AmerGeriatrics Four great projects/presentations. I am blown away. So much to take back home. Thanks for your leadership @MLRobertsonMD

@MLRobertsonMD @jesscolburn @dc1116 @cynthiaboyd16 @JHGeriatrics @AmerGeriatrics Congratulations Mariah!! So well deserved.

Such a fantastic turnout for the ADGAP/AGS #geriatrics Fellowship Directors Preconference. It was a blast to chair a meeting with such an energetic, motivated, dedicated group of educators. Great start to #AGS24!
