Building on the #AGS22 ADGAP pre-conference that was focused on the business case, AGS/ADGAP are offering a webinar series that is focused on Geriatrics and the Changing Landscape of Healthcare launched in Fall 2022. This series will provide an overview of the changing health care environment in ways that impact care for older adults, including geriatrics care and payment models.
The three webinars are:
Considering a career in geriatrics? Want to take your leadership skills to the next level? The AGS is the place for you!
The 2023 Call for Abstract Submissions is now closed (the deadline to submit an abstract was December 1, 2022). AGS opens the call for abstracts each fall. More information can be found here.
Want to present your research on a national stage? Submit an abstract of original research for presentation as a paper or poster at the Annual Meeting.
AGS is seeking nominations to fill open seats on the AGS Board of Directors. The ideal Board candidate will share the Society’s commitment to improving the health, independence, and quality of life of all older people.
AGS is seeking candidates for an AGS-Board designated ex officio seat for a practicing geriatrics health professional. Under the AGS By-laws, the AGS Board has the flexibility to designate up to four ex-officio Board seats based on its assessment of the need for individuals with important perspectives that may not be represented among the elected Board members. Due to several elected Board members rotating off the Board, the Board is eager to ensure that it has the perspective of someone who is primarily in clinical practice.
AGS is seeking Applications for its nine AGS Standing Committees for three-year-terms beginning in May of 2025. The ideal applicant will share the Society’s commitment to improving the health, independence, and quality of life of all older people.
In 2021, the National Institute on Aging awarded AGS more than $173,000 in funding over five years that will support three conferences focused on resilience.
