Education and Training
The Houston Geriatric Education Center was founded in 2007 through a grant from Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
The Institute on Aging is a university-wide collaborative effort that leverages the existing strengths and expertise of all the UTHealth schools, including the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Public Health, Biomedical Informatics, and Biomedical Sciences. We offer educational resources and periodic programming.
Geriatric Academic Career Award
UTHealth Houston Institute on Aging is proud to report that UTHealth Houston was awarded a Geriatric Academic Career Award from the Health Resources and Services Administration to support Rachel Jantea, MD, MS, geriatrician and director of the Education and Training Core, to provide interprofessional geriatrics training at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center and other sites with a focus on age- and dementia-friendly care. The four- year grant will expand the impactful and collaborative work with the Southeast Texas Geriatrics Workforce team.
