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.
