Attendees will be encouraged to describe what is and is not working for them and reflect on why. Participants will be able to:

Describe reverse mentorship and intergenerational mentoring
Discuss programs that have successfully bridged the so-called generational divide
Identify one actionable practice improvement process that could be implemented in the training site
