Welcome to the Trainee section of the AGS web site.

The AGS offers many opportunities for trainees and junior faculty to become active with the AGS, and to network with geriatrics health care professionals.  Some of the most-accessed resources are also listed below:

2012 BU Summer Institute in Geriatric Medicine
This weeklong conference will provide medical students, who are entering their third or fourth year of medical school in July 2012, with an opportunity to gain exposure to academic geriatrics and research in geriatric medicine. The deadline to apply is January 9, 2012.

AGS Mentoring programs
AGS mentors offer invaluable advice concerning educational and career choices. Mentoring relationships can be particularly important for healthcare trainees, who are presented with a wide array of options that help determine the focus of their careers.

AGS Student & Resident Chapters

How to Choose and Evaluate a New Job Opportunity
