We had an exciting line up of noontime trainings on “Trailblazing Topics in Gerontology.” These sessions, in part, provide opportunities for Nursing doctoral and masters students to present on a topic of interest and expertise and receive feedback on their teaching.  Learners provide evaluative feedback to student presenters as a way for him or her to learn and grow as a leader in Gerontology and Geriatrics.  Below are our presenters and topics presented for the Spring!
