Applicants do not have to present evidence that they have been accepted into a formal training program but should indicate their preferences for formal programs and their timeline for participation.

Talk with Program Alumni
We can arrange for potential scholars to speak with a Leadership Scholar to learn more about the program. If you would like to speak with a scholar, please contact Marianna Racz at mracz@americangeriatrics.org and she will match you with a Scholar and help to arrange a call.
