GPA national advisory committee
The GPA National Advisory Committee (NAC) provides important stakeholder feedback to inform development and enhancement of the GPA curriculum.
To enrich the scope and reach of our curriculum, committee members come from all aspects of geriatric healthcare, coast to coast. Each year we review the committee membership to ensure we are reflecting a rich and varied collaboration. If you are interested in the NAC or any AGE subcommittee, we want to hear from you.
