Abstract: 

The Medical Students’ Aging for Specialists Conference brings together medical students (MS1,2) and faculty leaders (Deans, Dept Heads, Program Directors) together in a lunch-time symposium that confirms the importance of aging principles of care no matter what career path students may follow – especially surgical and related medical specialties. Following a brief lecture by a national Visiting Professor, faculty lead informational and motivational discussions at breakout tables. This product includes: a "How To" facilitators' instruction guide; 17 individual Fact (or "Aging Pearls") sheets which contain specialty-specific intriguing geriatric facts along with questions to stimulate discussion at the breakout tables (answer guides are also provided for all but FCM and IM); an evaluation tool; and a video of our keynote speaker, Dr. John Burton's lecture launching our 2007 conference.We suggest that the conference be co-sponsored by your Student Section of the AGS.
