In its continuous endeavour to update its fellow members about the latest practices on geriatric care, the society holds an annual conference every year. The information on an event of such a magnitude is sent out to all and the doctors are urged to register at the earliest to avoid missing the event as well as to reduce the burden of paying higher registration costs as the event approaches its commencement date. More and more members are urged to register for this event as it is a wonderful platform for not only refreshing and becoming aware of the latest medical practices but also for socialization with other fellow members.
It is also during this mega event mostly that the society awards Fellowships to certain members of the medical fraternity. The selection is purely based on the recommendations from fellow members and the final say of the executive committee.
The society has also instituted various Oration Awards. These orations are of immense repute and delivered by doctors who have established their name and credentials in the medical field.
Scientific innovations, discoveries and updates are not limited to a particular time of the year only and hence the society supports group as well as individual member efforts to hold a CME in various manners including disbursing of such information through its print and electronic media facilities.
Geriatric Society of India recognizes and honors those whose work and contributions in their field have helped advance the cause of medical care and in particular geriatric care. For this either the society recommends the name or the member gets a recommendation and passes on the same for the final decision and recommendation by the executive committee.
The society has also instituted various Oration Awards. These orations are of immense repute and delivered by doctors who have established their name and credentials in the medical field.
As of now there are more than 5 Orations which are being awarded.
