The grants, which represent the second and final round of awards made through the Next Steps in Physicians' Training in Geriatrics initiative, will support programs focused on one of two areas: geriatrics training for physicians who are surgical and medical specialists or hospitalize; and improving the ability of physicians to work with other health disciplines in teams to provide better care for older patients. The Next Steps initiative supported a select group of medical schools that had already completed foundation-funded projects designed to prepare physicians to care for the elderly.
