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. For information on past conferences contact SGEC.
An example of a conference that has been cosponsored by SGEC annually for 14 years is Updates on Dementia developed and offered each spring under the primary leadership of the Northern California & Northern Nevada chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association geared to direct service providers.
