The Texas Geriatrics Interest Foundation (TGIF) is a joint organization of medical students interested in aging at the University of Texas School of Medicine and Baylor College of Medicine, located in the Texas Medical Center, Houston, Texas.
NEW!! JUST ANNOUNCED:
The Shadow a Geriatrician program
provides students potentially interested in geriatric medicine with the opportunity to
follow around a geriatrician for a day. The students choose their mentor from a list
of physicians who have volunteered their time to this program. The students decide
on
the basis of the setting they would like to experience, from nursing home to outpatient
care, as well as the physician's schedule. Interested? Contact Netanya Sandler
at ns692407@bcm.tmc.edu.
TGIF is a student chapter of the American Geriatrics Society and is also funded by the Center of Excellence (through the John A. Hartford, Inc. Foundation).
