The Summer Institute in Geriatric Medicine at Boston University Medical Center will be held
June 23– 27, 2008.
This program is sponsored by the American Geriatrics Society and the Boston University School of Medicine with funding from the National Institute of Aging. Participants in recent years have been very enthusiastic about the value of the program and NIA has refunded us through 2011.
The Summer Institute in Geriatrics is a week-long conference designed for medical students who are interested in pursuing careers in academic geriatric medicine and geriatric research. Activities of the Summer Institute include clinical and research seminars on key geriatrics/aging topics, site visits to clinical programs, and small group development of a research proposal. Faculty members include nationally recognized academic geriatricians and Boston University faculty conducting aging research.
A maximum of 20 students will be selected to participate in this program. Please note that applications must be received either electronically or in paper format by Friday, January 25, 2008. Full financial support will be provided.
