Welcome to the CGS Resident Site

We connect trainees from across Canada to facilitate networking and mentoring, while initiating and supporting advocacy projects for older adults at local and national levels.

  • Mentorship and networking opportunities for trainees (fellows and residents) interested in geriatrics.

  • Resources for resident-driven, geriatric-themed projects in advocacy, research, education, and clinical activities.

  • Promotion of the RGIG principles and field of geriatrics through word of mouth, networking, and social media.
