Jahnigen Award from the American Geriatrics Society (AGS). The award celebrates Dr. Potter&#8217;s work to train more health professionals in the care  all individuals need as they age.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Over the past 35 years, Dr. Potter&#8217;s tireless work has advanced education for thousands of health professionals,&#8221; said Ellen Flaherty, Ph.D., chair of the AGS board. &#8220;It would be difficult to locate a geriatrics clinician trained in the last two decades whose education has not been shaped in some way by Dr. Potter&#8217;s influence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A dynamic force driving geriatrics education, Dr. Potter has not only led medical education at UNMC but also has expanded the scope of her work to lead national efforts aimed at increasing the prestige and prominence of the geriatrics workforce. <\/p>\n<p>Dr. Potter is a co-principal investigator for the AGS&#8217;s Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP) Coordinating Center &#8212; a strategic resource supported by The John A.
