Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) 2012

The 2012 Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) from May 3 – 5 in Seattle, WA.

2012 Theme: Patient Safety and Quality. What Geriatrics has to Offer.
Given the recent HHS national collaboration to provide better care and reduce costs (Partnership for Patients: Better Care, Lower Costs) the theme of the 2012 AGS Annual Meeting is “Patient Safety and Quality. What Geriatrics has to Offer.”

The AGS Annual Scientific Meeting is the premier educational event in geriatrics, providing the latest information on clinical care, research on aging, and innovative models of care delivery.  The 2012 Annual Meeting will address the educational needs of geriatrics professionals from all disciplines.  Physicians, nurses, pharmacists, physician assistants, social workers, long-term care and managed care providers, health care administrators, and others can update their knowledge and skills through state-of-the-art educational sessions and research presentations.

The 2012 Annual Meeting offers many continuing education sessions, including invited symposia, workshops, and meet-the-expert sessions.  Sessions will include information about emerging clinical issues, current research in geriatrics, education, health policy, and delivery of geriatric health care.

Meeting attendees will have many wonderful opportunities to network and exchange ideas and information with colleagues.  The Presidential Poster Reception, Special Interest Group Meetings, Section Meetings for Fellows-in-Training, Nurses, Pharmacists, Social Workers, and Teachers are all great opportunities to interact with colleagues.
