GITT Dynamic team-building guidance to enhance care.

Working together leads to successful outcomes. This is at the core of the Geriatric Interdisciplinary Team Training(GITT) initiative. GITT is a resource of the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing. Recognizing that older adults with multiple conditions rely on health care professionals from a variety of disciplines, the initiative was created in 1995 to improve care by enhancing the interdisciplinary training of health profession students and professionals.

Teams don't just happen. It takes training. GITT provides training resources, the GITT Kit,  to help health care professionals develop geriatric interdisciplinary teams. The GITT program continues HIGN’s mission of reshaping health profession training to meet the demographic imperatives of the 21st century.
