POGOe (the Portal of Online
Geriatric Education) has been a long-time favourite resource of the Crane
Library. It is a free, comprehensive and
public repository of expert-contributed geriatric educational materials. Every resource posted on the site has been
peer-reviewed and promotes evidence-based medicine. Free user registration is required to access
materials. They’ve recently re-designed
their website and added a few new teaching tools important to mention.
Geriatrics Education for
Specialty Residents (GSR): With the help of the John A. Hartford Foundation and the American Geriatrics Society, the
GSR comprises of 8 toolkits with materials that address unique aspects of gerontology.
They include lectures, self-learning
modules and patient assessments intended to help geriatric residents. Topics currently available include: Anesthesiology,
General Surgery, Ophthalmology; and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
POGOe Video
Library: The video portal is a collection of videos, pulled from POGOe
educational materials and are freely available to stream to POGOe users. The library
