Fall 2003

Attention: Junior Faculty, Fellows-in-Training, and Students!!!
Back by popular demand!

The One-on-One AGS Mentoring Program, which is sponsored by the Special Interest Group for Junior Research Faculty Development, will return to the 2004 AGS Annual Meeting in Las Vegas. The Mentoring Program is a great opportunity for you to meet with a Senior Faculty member in Geriatrics to discuss ideas about starting an academic career, locating research funding, learning more about Geriatric practice and administration, or balancing career demands with a successful family life. You and your Mentor decide on the topics!
