The Portal of Geriatric Online Education (POGOe) is a free public repository of a growing collection of geriatric educational materials in various e-learning formats, including lectures, exercises, virtual patients, case-based discussions, simulations, as well as links to other resources.

POGOe's mission is to promote geriatric education through the provision and encouragement of free exchange of teaching and assessment materials that support the fields of geriatrics and gerontology.

Funded by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, POGOe is managed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Department of Geriatrics and Adult Development, on behalf of the Association of Directors of Geriatric Academic Programs (ADGAP). The site is a partnership between Mount Sinai and Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Departments of Biomedical Informatics and Division of Geriatrics.

POGOe History
POGOe was created in 2004 with the original intent to disseminate materials created by recipients of the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation grants to enhance training of individuals in geriatrics as well as to encourage collaboration among geriatrics educators.

Prior versions of POGOe were created with the Stein Gerontological Institute (SGI) and the e-learning group at the University of Miami. In 2008, the site moved to Vanderbilt University School of Medicine Department of Biomedical Informatics to integrate a concept-based search function to enhance POGOe’s capabilities.
