EAMA Geriatrics

The EAMA’s goals since 1995 have been to: Improve knowledge and skills in geriatric medicine for junior faculty members and promising candidates for future teachers in geriatrics. Attune the attitudes and goals of future opinion leaders in geriatric medicine throughout Europe. Establish a network among medical doctors responsible for the care of elderly persons and those responsible for student instruction, as well as general physicians caring for the aged. Develop new ideas for geriatric health programs and harmonise practices. Stimulate clinical and epidemiological research in community and institutional geriatric medicine. The two-year course consists of four intense one-week sessions held twice a year in January and June. Each session covers a well balanced geriatric topic with experts from around the world. Eleven Postgraduate Courses have already been completed with participants from nearly all European countries and worldwide.
