AAGP Conference

iOS Universel / Medecine

The Annual Meeting offers cutting-edge educational programming for a broad audience of allied health professionals, including geriatric and general psychiatrists, medical students, residents and fellows, psychologists, nurse practitioners, social workers, and researchers. We also encourage general psychiatry residents and medical students with a special interest in the mental health treatment of older adults to attend our annual meeting. Whether you work in a private hospital, clinic, academic medical center, state mental health facility, long-term care setting, or private practice, the AAGP Annual Meeting has something for you.



The United Nations General Assembly adopted the “Principles for Older Persons” in 1991, encouraging governments to promote older adults’ independence, participation, care, self-fulfillment, and dignity (1). Geriatric mental health specialists are on the front lines of the mission to identify and address threats to these principles: ageism, healthcare disparities, barriers to care, neglect, and abuse. The Covid-19 pandemic brought the consequences of age-based discrimination to the forefront, causing us to reexamine these principles. As the population ages, our responsibility to advocate for the human rights of older adults is more significant than ever. Whether through individual focused interventions, or state and national policy changes, those of us in geriatric psychiatry have a unique opportunity to make a difference for our patients now and in the future. At the 2026 AAGP Annual Meeting, we look forward to learning together, inspiring one another, and reaffirming our shared commitment to protecting the human rights of older persons.
