Abstract: As federal partners, the Veterans Health Administration (VA) and the Indian Health Service (IHS) agreed to share resources, such as education. The VA Geriatric Scholars Program, a workforce development program, provides one of its training programs on team-based primary care of elders to clinicians working in IHS and Tribal Health Programs. The practical impact of that training is described. A mixed methods approach was applied to the course's evaluation survey at five clinics in the Northwestern Plains, Southwest, Pacific Coast, and Alaska. Quantitative approaches assessed participants' self-reported intention to improve recognition and assessment of common geriatric syndromes. A qualitative approach applied to open-ended text responses revealed intensions to improve team-based care. Among the 51 respondents in our sample, we found significant improvements in self-reported ability to recognize previously unfamiliar potential risks to elders' health and safety, t(49) = 8.0233, p <.001, as well as increased comfort with conducting geriatric assessments and increased confidence in interprofessional team-based communication. Improvements to team-based care included enhanced clinical skills, organizational factors and the need to train additional employees. This evaluation demonstrates the value of sharing resources among federal partners and its value for participants in IHS and Tribal Health Programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
