The Wisconsin Geriatric Education Center (WGEC) is a statewide consortium focused on optimizing the health of older adults and building the capacity of the healthcare workforce to meet the complex health needs of geriatric patients. Together, the WGEC consortium develops, implements, and evaluates new curriculum and delivers training to providers, faculty, and students in the health professions.

For more than 35 years, the WGEC has been led by Marquette University. It is administratively housed on Marquette's campus in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. All projects are made possible through grants and donations.

 

Vision

Older adults throughout Wisconsin will achieve optimal personal health and have access to quality healthcare, provided by a workforce that is proficient in state-of-the-art geriatric care.

Mission

Educate Wisconsin's current and future healthcare workforce about geriatrics and gerontology.
