Abstract
Aim: To map and characterise major transnational initiatives in education and training in geriatrics, and to explore complementarities to support a more coherent and equitable global framework. Findings: Multiple transnational programmes operate across a wide spectrum of structures, educational approaches, and content, reflecting diverse regional priorities and stages of development. Message: Coordinated collaboration amongst initiatives is essential to build global capacity, promote equity, and ensure sustainability in geriatrics education and workforce development.
