Every year, the FHA Student Researcher Fund provides students from all disciplines with funding to enable them to attend and participate in the AGS Annual Meeting. At the meeting, students present their work through poster sessions as well as interact with nationally known faculty. This experience is considered pivotal in helping students set their future course in medicine. The AGS believes that it may potentially advance the recruitment of young persons into careers as geriatrics health care providers.
The FHA Student Researcher Fund is supported by ticket sales for the annual fundraiser An Evening with Friends, by corporate sponsorship, and by individual donations.
