The Geriatrics Interest Group, a student chapter of the American Geriatrics Society, introduces students to the unique issues surrounding treatment, disease prevention, and quality of life in aging populations. Through talks, volunteer and research opportunities, the group aspires to raise awareness of these issues and expose future physicians to the discipline of geriatrics. Caring for older adults is interdisciplinary in nature, and therefore many of our events occur in collaboration with other professional schools, as part of the larger, school-wide interest group.
