Position Statements

Over the past months volunteer members have been working with the Policy and Planning Committee to develop and update several position statements. Thank you to all the authors who have worked on these papers that provide guidance to geriatricians on important clinical issues; we also appreciate the feedback offered by members in the approval process. We encourage you to access these papers and remind you that all position statements can be found here on our website.
