Conferences

Since SGEC was founded in 1987, it has sponsored and cosponsored several  hundred conferences, most for multidisciplinary health professionals, and most including information on ethnogeriatrics. We continue to partner with other organizations to meet the need for educational conferences on geriatric and ethnogeriatric topics in the San Francisco and Monterey Bay Areas.  For future conferences, see the SGEC Calendar of Events.
