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.
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.

I LOVE the annual literature update. Indeed they are just warming up at #AGS24. What will be the first song?!
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
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/2737…. We just need more chairs.
"There is a chair in the bed over there. What the heck, I'll sit in the chair." Summary snippet from the Updates in Geriatrics and Sing Along about a randomized control trial of chair placement on physician behavior and patient satisfaction. #medicine #hospitalist #geriatrics
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
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!
Great day at the ADGAP/AGS pre conference so much rich information and great conversations!!! Over 170 participants!! @MSHSGeriPalCare great leadership @KateBUW
Proud of recent @UWDeptMedicine #geriatrics fellow @jesserosskatz sharing why he loves being a geriatrician. So proud you trained with us Dr. Katz. @AmerGeriatrics #agsproud. youtu.be/MuPxRZK7i8g
Watch to see why I love being a Geriatrician and why Geriatrics is such a great field! #IAmGeriatrics
Fantastic spotlight on our wonderful Division Administrator, Monica Fawthrop. We’re so lucky to have her leadership in our #geriatrics Division.
A wonderful spotlight on Monica Fawthrop, division administrator for @uwpccm and the Division of Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine!

P.S. If you are looking for a #geriatrics fellowship slot for 2024-25, send me a message. You could follow in Tiffany’s footsteps.
Many new #geriatrics fellowship program directors say their handoff was “fumbled.” Dr. Vanessa Rodriguez @MSHSGeriPalCare and Dr. Elizabeth Chapman @uw_geriatrics describe the need and what @AmerGeriatrics /ADGAP are doing to help. Lucky to partner with these superstars!
