Development and Dissemination of a Curriculum in Geriatric Cardiology

Grant Summary

The John A. Hartford Foundation has made a grant to increase the geriatrics expertise of cardiologists through the development and dissemination of a geriatrics curriculum for physicians training to specialize in cardiology. This grant will support the design, development, and dissemination of a flexible curriculum on geriatric cardiology, which will be targeted to the 187 cardiology fellowship training directors in the United States. The curricular materials will offer systematic topic reviews, discussions of practical patient care issues, and overviews of ethical and clinical decision-making challenges relevant to older patients. In addition to reaching up to 3,500 cardiologists in fellowship training, the project expects to reach additional fellows and practicing cardiologists through the American College of Cardiology's well-developed, online training portal.
