The Minnesota Area Geriatric Education Center (MAGEC), established in 1988 through a federal grant, is part of the University of Minnesota Center on Aging. Ten University faculty members representing the disciplines of medicine, public health, nursing, physical therapy, pharmacy, social work, and physical medicine and rehabilitation constitute the leadership of MAGEC.

MAGEC provides educational and innovative programs on a regional and local basis through partnerships with institutions and organizations involved in aging.  An integral part of promoting education is the design and expansion of curricular offerings in geriatrics and gerontology. Additionally, MAGEC works to strengthen clinicians’ skills and knowledge in geriatrics.
