AGS Student & Resident Chapters

The purpose of the student & resident chapter network is to spark trainee interest in the field of geriatrics, to enhance the visibility of geriatric medicine at the student & resident level, and to provide educational programs on geriatric medicine.

Student & Resident Chapters work toward the goals of the Society, with a particular emphasis on:

• Encouraging interest in geriatrics among faculty and residents in the various disciplines concerned with the care of the elderly; For more information about efforts to create an interdisciplinary chapter, click here.
• Encouraging curriculum development to include geriatrics in the general curriculum as well as in elective course offerings and multidisciplinary programs;
• Developing educational programs in geriatrics open to the school faculty as well as to local health care professionals;
• Promoting educational activities within community facilities such as nursing homes, and senior centers.
