Reynolds Meeting

The 2015 Donald W. Reynolds Foundation Grantee Annual Meeting is opening its doors to a limited number of physicians from non-Reynolds Foundation sponsored schools. The meeting is funded by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, through its Geriatrics Education Coordinating Center grant, and organized by the Association of Directors of Geriatrics Academic Programs (ADGAP) and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The annual meeting spans 2 ½ days and is geared towards all levels of clinician educators in geriatrics and attracts thought leaders within the field. This year’s meeting will be held in St. Louis, Missouri October 14th - 16th. Applications are past due but a limited number of spots is still available.

Reynolds grantees have cultivated a collaborative atmosphere that promotes the exchange of strategies to enhance geriatrics training, introduce advances in medical education, and launch new geriatrics initiatives that catalyze moving the care of older adults into the mainstream of medical training.
