GAIT is a project funded by the University System of Maryland Redeployment Grant System and is located in rural Maryland at the Western Maryland Area Health Education Center (Cumberland, Md.) and the Eastern Shore Area Health Education Center (Cambridge, Md.). A series of two day rotations brings students from the six University of Maryland, Baltimore Schools, Towson University's Occupational Therapy and Speech and Language Disorder Departments, Frostburg State University's Departments of Social Work and Psychology, and Salisbury State University's Department of Social Work. Students are introduced to the comprehensive geriatric assessment and the fundamentals of interprofessional collaboration through both didactic and clinical sessions. A variety of sites are used throughout Western Maryland and the Eastern Shore. Each site is chosen because it emphasizes the benefits of interprofessional collaboration in caring for frail older individuals.
