Although the general population rate in the U.S. is slowing down, the older population continues to increase. The U.S. population is also getting more diverse. The need to learn the secrets of successful aging are more important than ever before.

The Stanford University's Internet based Successful Aging (iSAGE) is a web-based, multi-media rich, skill-based training program that can be completed at your place and your own pace. Participants who successfully complete the iSAGE Mini-fellowship in Successful Aging will gain a deep understanding of the scientific principles of Successful Aging and End-of-life care.
