The scope of AGHE's responsibility to gerontology and geriatrics extends worldwide, as reflected in its tag line, "Global Leaders in Education on Aging." Optimal responses to worldwide demographic transitions can only come from persons well versed in the dimensions of aging and trained and globally situated to translate that knowledge into effective and culturally appropriate solutions. This article reviews the evolution of AGHE's role in initiating and fostering global networks of educators in gerontology and geriatrics, including collaborative efforts with major international organizations (e.g., WHO, UN, IAGG) to increase the visibility and appreciation of aging-related issues among world leaders; sponsoring national and international meetings and publications to promote the exchange of ideas and refinement of teaching methodologies; initiating and adapting new models of gerontological training enhanced by advances in information and communication technology; and supporting world-wide cohorts of emerging scholars to assume leadership roles within the organization. Recommendations for next steps are considered.
AGHE 对老年医学和老年病学的责任范围遍及全球，这反映在其口号“老龄化教育的全球领导者”中。只有精通老龄化各个方面、受过培训并能在全球范围内将这些知识转化为有效且文化适宜的解决方案的人员，才能对全球人口结构转变做出最佳应对。本文回顾了 AGHE 在发起和培养全球老年医学和老年病学教育者网络方面所扮演的角色的演变，包括与主要国际组织（例如世界卫生组织、联合国、国际老年学和老年医学学会）合作，以提高世界各国领导人对与老龄化相关问题的认识和重视；主办国家和国际会议及出版物，以促进思想交流和教学方法的完善；启动和调整新的老年学培训模式，利用信息和通信技术的进步加以强化；支持全世界新兴学者群体在该组织内担任领导职务。还考虑了下一步的建议。
