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:

  1. Contact Erin Blume at eblume@amda.com for the list of Futures participants from your state. The list of 2006 participating states is below.
  2. Contact Futures participants and provide information about the state chapter and upcoming events.
  3. Keep Futures participants "in the know." Add their names to the state chapter mailing list.
  4. Create a mentorship program to foster personal growth and professional development.
  5. 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.
