AAGP began offering MOC Conferences in 2005 to enhance AAGP's
educational programming and provide geriatric psychiatrists
with additional opportunities to earn continuing medical education
credits, required for the maintenance of the geriatric psychiatry
subspecialty certification. The MOC Conferences are also designed
for general psychiatrists, geriatricians, nurses, family physicians,
psychologists and researchers.
Educational Objectives
This conference is sponsored and accredited by the American
Association for Geriatric Psychiatry (AAGP). The goals of
this course are to provide an in-depth interactive educational
session on non-Alzheimer’s disease dementias with a
focus on the application to clinical practice.
