Project

Goal: To redesign ENGAGE-IL website to improve its website design, user interface, accessibility and usability.

ENGAGE-IL is an interprofessional (IP) Community of Learning and Practice focused on improving the health of older adults. ENGAGE-IL offers a free online Interprofessional Geriatrics Training Program with 32 learning modules on key topics related to the care of older adults. Interprofessionals can take one or all of the modules and earn free Continuing Education credits.

ENGAGE–IL was made possible by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DDHS), HRSA GWEP Grant #U1QHP28730:  HRSA awarded $35.7 million national-wide, through 44 GWEP grants, to improve care for older adults.  UIC received $2.5 million, to develop and implement a GWEP project focusing on education and training of healthcare professionals to meet the needs of older adults, including education and training on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.

GWEP supports the development of a health care workforce that improves health outcomes for older adults by integrating geriatrics with primary care, maximizing patient and family engagement, and transforming the healthcare system.
