IAGG FEDERATION OF GERIATRIC EDUCATION
Jean-Pierre Michel, MD, was appointed the program director of IAGG Federation of Geriatric Education, formerly known as IAGG’s World Academy on Ageing (IAGG-World), a program which seeks enhancing the academic foundation in the field of geriatrics and gerontology.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
-
In complete partnership with the World Health Organization and the United Nations, IAGG- World drafted “Quality Standards” in an effort to streamline future Master Classes on Aging.
-
IAGG-World aims to enrich existing programs and to extend program activities to new global regions, which, in the past, did not benefit from this high level educative initiative in gerontology and geriatrics. These global regions include, but are not limited to, Southeast Asia, North Africa and Sub Saharan Africa.
