Abstract
Section VI of the AGEC Handbook provides guidelines for writing the self-study. This Handbook section is central to the accreditation review process because it provides information about how your program demonstrates that accreditation standards have been met/exceeded. It also specifies preparatory work that programs should undertake prior to applying for accreditation. Based on insights gained from the first round of AGEC accreditation reviews at the master’s, baccalaureate and associate levels, Section VI of the Handbook has been revised to clarify expectations about the self-study. Specifically, greater emphasis has been placed on 1) following the Standards outline in Section V of the Handbook, 2) insuring that all relevant information is contained in the self-study and, 3) requiring that the complete document, including appendices, is submitted well in advance of the site visit. This presentation describes the content and revisions in Section VI, as well as the process for submitting the self-study.

Using data from NHATS, we aimed to identify characteristics that distinguish joint vs. separate presence of physical frailty and cognitive impairment (CI: bottom quintile of test performance in executive function and memory; or proxy-report of dementia diagnosis or AD8 score >=2)
Accreditation for Gerontology Education Council (AGEC) is an organization that collaborates with, but is independent from the Gerontological Society of America and the Academy for Gerontology in Higher Education. It is directed by a Board of Governors consisting of nine members representing higher education gerontology programs and entities associated with the field of aging
Higher education degree granting programs in gerontology, associate arts degree, baccalaureate degree, and master’s degree programs, are eligible to apply to AGEC for accreditation
