Taking Steps to Engage Futures Participants
The AMDA Foundation Futures Program is a
unique opportunity that exposes physician,
residents and fellows with an interest in geriatrics
to the numerous prospects in long term care. To
further cultivate their interest in geriatrics, the
State Chapters can take steps to engage these
participants in their local chapters.
Five steps to engage "Future" geriatricians:
- Contact Erin Blume at eblume@amda.com
for the list of Futures participants from your
state. The list of 2006 participating states
is below.
- Contact Futures participants and provide
information about the state chapter and
upcoming events.
- Keep Futures participants "in the know."
Add their names to the state chapter
mailing list.
- Create a mentorship program to foster
personal growth and professional
development.
- Collaborate with local colleges and
universities to encourage growth of the
Futures program which in turn will increase
the number of geriatricians in long term
care.
