As we age, our needs and expectations change—and our health care should follow suit. Geriatrics is the healthcare specialty dedicated exclusively to providing high-quality, person-centered care for older adults.

Geriatrics healthcare professionals include doctors, nurses, pharmacists, physician assistants, social workers, and many others with unique skills for evaluating and managing health and care for older men and women.

Supported by The John A. Hartford Foundation and the Gary and Mary West Health Institute and managed in its initial planning stages by the American Geriatrics Society (AGS), the Geriatrics Emergency Department Collaborative (GEDC) is an innovative collaboration on the future of geriatric emergency care.

The AGS offers plenty of opportunities for members to get involved. No matter where you are in your career, making new connections is always rewarding and getting involved with the AGS is a great way to do that.  Browse the opportunities below to see which is right for you!  

AGS Fellow Status (AGSF) is awarded to AGS members who have demonstrated a professional commitment to geriatrics, contributed to the progress of geriatrics care, and are active participants in the Society's activities.
