Mayo Clinic schedules healthy longevity medicine course to translate geroscience into clinical practice
Mayo Clinic has scheduled a continuing medical education course titled Healthy Longevity Medicine: Translating Geroscience into Clinical Practice, running from April 8 through April 10, 2027, at the Integrated Education and Research Building in Phoenix, Arizona. The curriculum focuses on applying aging biology to patient care, with an emphasis on prevention, early risk detection, and healthspan extension.
Course directors Sara L. Bonnes, Atul Jain, and Doina Kulick organized the program to offer both live in-person and virtual livestream attendance options. The educational sessions examine key biological mechanisms of aging, known as the hallmarks of aging, and explore how these processes contribute to functional decline and chronic disease risk.
Curriculum details and clinical applications
Participants in the Phoenix course will study biomarkers of aging, including biological age clocks, alongside multidimensional assessments in geromedicine. The agenda covers lifestyle interventions, emerging pharmacologic treatments, and regenerative therapies.

Faculty members from Mayo Clinic and invited experts from national and international academic institutions will lead didactic lectures and interactive case-based discussions. The program places specific emphasis on the critical appraisal of translational and clinical trials, as well as the ethical considerations unique to the practice of geromedicine.
Global demographic shifts drive clinical training
The course addresses broader demographic trends, which project the global population aged 60 and older to double from 1.0 billion in 2020 to 2.1 billion by 2050.
Registration details and course notifications are managed through the Mayo Clinic. Clinicians attending the event will examine how to integrate evidence-based longevity principles into everyday patient care.
