Baycrest Selected as Host of Summer Program in Aging 2025

Baycrest is pleased to have been selected by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to host the next Summer Program in Aging (SPA), which takes place from June 8 to 13, 2025. 

As a global leader in the field of aging and brain health, Baycrest is expertly positioned to host this program. Our unique campus encompasses a continuum of care for older persons as well as a world-leading research institute, allowing researchers and healthcare workers to work closely together and driving effective care and improved quality of life for older persons. 

Baycrest is the largest provider of training and education programs in the care of the elderly in North America, extending internationally with a global telehealth program. Fully affiliated with the University of Toronto, Baycrest has an extensive clinical training program in geriatric care. 

Every year, nearly 1,500 students, trainees and other practitioners from more than 50 universities and colleges come to learn at Baycrest and experience the delivery of high-quality care alongside leading experts on one of the world’s most comprehensive campuses of care focused on aging and care of older adults.  

Hosted by a different organization every year, SPA is an intensive, five-day capacity-building program that provides graduate trainees with advanced training that crosses disciplines, offers networking opportunities and disseminates best practices in research. 

This year’s theme is “Training a Healthcare Workforce to Meet the Needs of Older Adults.” 

This is well aligned with the Baycrest Academy for Research and Education (BARE)’s mission, which is to Revolutionize aging and brain health by discovering, assessing and mobilizing impactful knowledge through cutting-edge research, interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative education to enhance the lives of communities worldwide.
