Geriatrics faculty present on Geriatrics Twitter Journal Club for AGS

The UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences-Sanford Health Geriatrics Fellowship program recently received national recognition by the American Geriatrics Society and its fellowship directors for innovations in education. Drs. Gunjan Manocha (UND) and Lindsey Dahl (Sanford) were asked to present on the new Geriatrics Twitter Journal Club at the 2022 American Geriatrics Society scientific meeting in Orlando, Fla. This first-of-its-kind learning platform in geriatrics education has grown to over 500 faculty and trainee participants who critically evaluate evidence-based geriatric research each month. The program was initially started as an HRSA-funded project and collaboration between geriatric fellowship programs at UND, Mayo, and the Universities of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan.
