She has demonstrated particular effectiveness in forming, developing, and leading teams. She has a strong vision for the section. Additionally, she is empathetic and caring in all that she does.
We are very sorry to see Dr. Nathan Flacker leave his full-time position as the section chief of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology. Dr. Flacker came to Emory in 1998. He made an indelible impact on the geriatric clinical services programs at Grady and The Emory Clinic, growing both programs as a leader and provider. He mentored several clinical-educator faculty members and was an important figure in the Department of Medicine’s Academy of Medical Educators. He developed and co-lead the Aging Week curriculum for Emory’s first-year medical students.
Dr. Flacker has accepted a regional leadership role with JennCare, a Medicare Advantage product providing primary care to seniors, and a national role to help them with developing their geriatric education plan. He will continue co-leader role in the development of a regional geriatrics medical education conference to be held at Callaway Gardens each July.
