RF SIG Minutes

The Residency and Fellowship SIG seeks to foster the development and growth of geriatric residency and fellowship programs. The R/F SIG will allow greater participation among ALL parties interested in residency/fellowship education; including those engaged in existing programs (both faculty and participants) and those interested in developing new programs. Furthermore, students and others interested in becoming a resident should become members of the R/F SIG for networking purposes. The R/F SIG will allow for increased member participation and potentially have a much greater impact on the development of new and larger programs. There are many opportunities for participation, so please consider getting involved! To participate or learn more about current SIG activities and projects, contact the SIG chair.

GeriNotes Resident Corner - In 2020 GeriNotes is willing to publish resident articles that include case reports, new geriatric PT Programs and new geriatric PT tools. Literature reviews will not be accepted unless tied to case report. I hope to establish a working group/ sub committee to grow articles from residents.

Outstanding Geriatric PT Resident - The Outstanding Geriatric Physical Therapist Resident Award would honor a recent geriatric residency graduate in order to recognize the intrinsic value of the postprofessional training, and thereby promote and provide for the development and accreditation of geriatric residency education programs in physical therapy. The nomination packet must be received in the Academy of Geriatric Physical Therapy office by November 15. https://geriatricspt.org/awards/
