Description
Are you interested in including older adults and/or people with multiple chronic conditions in your research program but don’t know where to start? Using a Q&A format, this podcast from the AGS/AGING LEARNING Collaborative features the editors of the Multiple Chronic Conditions (MCCs) Core Curriculum discussing key takeaway points with curriculum authors – all national experts in their topic. Designed for new investigators, this podcast series provides a nuanced roadmap to the tools, knowledge, and approaches that are integral to inclusion of people living with MCC in research across the lifespan. New episodes are released regularly. Did our podcast series leave you wanting to learn more about MCCs research?
