Abstract

The National Institute on Aging-funded Geroscience Education and Training Network held the “Building an Interdisciplinary Workforce in Geroscience: Aligning Perspectives and Educational Goals” preconference workshop at the 2023 Gerontological Society of America’s Annual Meeting. Parties involved in geroscience education and interested stakeholders addressed the development of didactic educational materials, training, and career development opportunities to equip learners with the skills to meet the demands of the emerging field of geroscience, from research to clinic and industry. Recent successes were presented, existing opportunities, gaps, and challenges identified and discussed, and solutions and future directions described.
