Workforce development in geriatrics requires more than classroom learning, it demands meaningful, practice-based experience. Through integrated clinical training, interprofessional education, and community partnerships, trainees engage directly with the complexities of caring for older adults. This approach strengthens both clinical competence and system awareness, preparing a workforce capable of delivering high-quality care across diverse and underserved communities. Training is structured to reflect how care is delivered in real-world settings, across teams, communities, and care environments.
Interprofessional learning brings together trainees from multiple disciplines to build collaborative, team-based care skills
Community-based placements extend training into health centers, long-term care settings, and neighbor island communities
Clinical and virtual models integrate telehealth and interdisciplinary care into training experiences
