The AGS was awarded a new “R25” grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) that will support AGS & partners to create a special learning collaborative focused on filling educational and training gaps in multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) research.

In addition, AGS will continue to host a series of prestigious scientific conferences on emerging issues in aging research thanks to sustained funding from the NIA as part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Research Conference Grant (or “R13”) Program. Under this award, AGS will coordinate a series of “bench-to-bedside” conferences with a focus on “resilience,” a topic of extreme pertinence to older adults and their health care providers.

“We’re grateful to the NIA and NIH for these awards and to our scientific community for their collective focus on improving the lives of older people,” said AGS President Peter Hollmann, MD, AGSF. “The NIA/NIH support for our bedside-to-bench conference series has not only moved the science forward but also sparked new collaborations across disciplines that are focused on improving care for older people. We believe our new AGS/AGING LEARNING curriculum will be a go-to resource for investigators who seek to do cutting edge research that is inclusive of diverse older people with multiple chronic conditions.”

To practice truly patient centered care, pharmacists must recognize racism as a root cause of SDoH and use their gifts to educate themselves and their colleagues around dismantling structural racism. https://www.japha.org/article/S1544-3191(20)30458-1/fulltext

Groups worry about tapping COVID relief for infrastructure - KTAR.com Organizations representing long-term care facilities on Friday urged lawmakers working on a bipartisan infrastructure plan to avoid dipping into COVID-relief funds to help pay for the roughly $600 billion in new spending sought for the public works buildout.

I HIGHLY recommend the AGS Annual Meeting CE program: GERIATRICS LITERATURE UPDATE: 2021 (I am told the speakers do this program every year.) The description below doesn't do the program justice.

The Geriatric Literature Update is always one of the most popular sessions at the annual meeting. The session will focus on the year's most important published papers. Discussion includes the significance of findings and application to patient care. Learning Objectives: (1) identify areas in clinical medicine where new strong evidence has been uncovered that should affect geriatric practice; (2) describe the results of a critical appraisal of this evidence; and (3) discuss clinical advances in caring for older adults from a review of approximately 30 peer-reviewed journals January-December, 2020.

This geriatric literature update CE program from the American Geriatric Society Annual Meeting is SO AWESOME! The singing and the speakers’ banter is so engaging!
