The Medical Specialties Section was developed in 2002 by the Association of Specialty Professors project “Integrating Geriatrics into the Specialties of Internal Medicine: Moving Forward from Awareness to Action,” funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation and Atlantic Philanthropies, Inc.
The theme of the session this year is "Building Research Networks In Your Specialty.” A multidisciplinary panel of specialists will speak about how to build an aging-focused research network in a specialty, with examples provided of successful research networks. The talks will be followed by a panel discussion and small round table breakouts with the individual speakers. Breakout sessions will be followed by a talk from a National Institute on Aging (NIA) program officer about funding opportunities. All medical and surgical subspecialists, including geriatricians, are encouraged to attend. Breakfast will be provided.
