Medical students at all year levels are encouraged to
utilize the learning resources contained on this web site to
inform their care of older adult patients whenever and
wherever they encounter them throughout their pre-clinical
and clinical years. A wide variety of materials, resources
and references are included for each competency area, so
that learning/resource materials are included to accommodate
most learning styles.
Purpose:
The purpose of the Geriatrics Interest Group (GIG) of the Florida
State University College of Medicine (FSU COM) is to educate and
promote geriatric medicine at the Florida State University (FSU).
The GIG promotes the involvement of students and professionals from
various disciplines concerned with the care of the geriatric
community, with the purpose of enhancing the multiple dimensions of
geriatric care. Therefore, membership and participation is open to
all FSU students who are interested in geriatric medicine. Members
of the GIG, also, have the opportunity to join the American
Geriatrics Society (AGS) and the Florida Geriatrics Society (FGS),
which provide additional opportunities for informative meetings and
conferences to attend. The primary focus of the GIG activities is to
meet the needs of the geriatric community through education,
community outreach, and student-geriatric involvement. |
