Why You Should Apply

As medical schools and graduate medical education programs increase their efforts to create a physician work-force that is able to provide high quality care for the growing elderly population, geriatrics programs will be placed in more prominent roles in academic health centers. To be effective in these roles, geriatrics programs will need to be adequately staffed, well-organized, and respected by departmental and medical center administrations. For these conditions to be met, geriatrics programs require strong leadership.

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.
