Bridge to Practice
"Bridge to Practice" models have been used extensively in several career fields (e.g. nursing, law) to bolster the exposure to and infusion of knowledge where known educational gaps exist. The Finger Lakes Geriatric Education Center (FLGEC) seeks to eliminate gaps in geriatric knowledge through several activities, supplementing clinical, team-based practice. In addition to Grand Rounds and educational webinars, the FLGEC offers newsletters on the care of older adults:
Ger-E-News
Ger-E-News are created by our Geriatric Fellows to expand the confidence, knowledge and skill set of new health practitioners, who may have little experience in the field of geriatrics. Each issue will focus on one topic, highlighting recent research, translation to practice, references, and/or a brief case study.
