The American Academy of Nursing (AAN):
Building Academic Geriatric Nursing Capacity

The AAN builds capacity by: 1) coordinating centers of excellence at nine of the nation’s top schools of geriatric nursing, 2) funding pre-doctoral scholars and post-doctoral fellows, who are the faculty and management leaders of the future, and 3) building interdisciplinary research competencies in academic geriatric nurses. All of these efforts are designed to promote leadership, research, and best practice models that foster geriatric excellence throughout the nursing profession.

Program Directors:

Patricia Archbold, DNSc, RN, FAAN: 2005-2011
Claire M. Fagin, PhD, RN, FAAN: 2000-2005
