As Secretary of the SAC I get quite a lot of inquiries from people looking for advice about educational issues concerning Geriatric Medicine; for example:
- What does a registrar training in Geriatric Medicine need to know about ageing physiology or biological gerontology?
- Where can I find workplace based assessment tools for trainees in Geriatric Medicine?
- How to I go about setting up or applying for an academic fellowship in Geriatric Medicine my deanery?
- How do I find out if my teaching of medical students is achieving the necessary objectives?
- How does the ARCP process work?
- How do I apply to train partly abroad?
- Can I obtain a CCT in Acute Medicine (level 3)?
- Can I take a career break while training in Geriatric Medicine?
- What should I use my academic sessions each week for?
- Where can I find the higher level training grids in Movement Disorders, Community and Intermediate Care, Psychiatric disorders in Old Age, Continence, Orthogeriatrics or Falls?
- How do I improve my chance of a successful application for entry into the Specialist Register in Geriatric Medicine under Article 14?
- Where can I find a reading list for undergraduates or postgraduates interested in Geriatric Medicine?
The BGS website now has a section administered under the auspices of the Education and Training Committee. You will find this on the website by hovering your pointer over Education/Training on the menu to the left of the BGS homepage. You will find answers to many of the above questions and can also access the slides from talks at our most recent training day.
Much more work is needed to make these pages really useful so we need your help. Please let us know how we can improve the site or send us information or links that we can put on the site. Write us an article about an educational issue or tell us about your latest educational research or audit. Perhaps you would even like to take responsibility for managing the content of these webpages. For any of these things please contact me at email link above.
