Geriatrics
is the field of science that deals with health problems, diseases, social
status, functional life, quality of life, preventive medicine practices, and
aging of the society of individuals aged 65 and over.
The
Association of Geriatric Science was established in February 2017 under the
leadership of Prof. Dr. Ahmet Turan ISIK. The association's primary purpose is
to bring together all healthcare professionals interested in the geriatrics
discipline in our country and all individuals who want to serve in geriatrics
and gerontology to perceive geriatrics and gerontology best in our country and
develop action plans.
In
addition, geriatricians and geriatric nurses, physiotherapists, nutritionists,
social workers, psychologists, gerontologists, nursing home physicians, and
care staff, who are members of the geriatrics interdisciplinary team, have been
determined as the primary goal to gain the position and productivity that this
discipline deserves in our country. In addition to the scientific development
of geriatrics in our country, we aim to work for the social development of
geriatrics, increase its awareness, take its rightful place in health policies,
and guide health professionals interested in geriatrics.
We
aim to support the members of our association in maintaining high standards in
research, education, patient care, and treatment in geriatrics and contributing
to developing technical and scientific facilities in geriatrics education,
patient care, and academic studies. Furthermore, our goals include organizing
national/international congresses and seminars, publishing scientific
publications, guides, and guidelines, collaborating with national and
international scientific institutions, private and public organizations, and
associations, providing consultancy/guidance to geriatrics-related
institutions, and producing educational materials and projects to raise
awareness in society.
The Geriatric Sciences Association is a member of the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG).
LET'S ALL AGE SUCCESSFULLY TOGETHER!
