St. Louis Times Geriatrics Symposium

Each year in December a St. Louis Times Geriatrics Symposium is hosted at an area university. These half-day educational events are open to anyone interested in furthering their education in the field of geriatrics. They offer speakers, networking and sponsorship opportunities for professionals, organizations, students and anyone interested in aging-focused issues. With morning snacks and lunch included, along with CEU's if required, these events offer terrific professional content, presentation and value.
