 » Conference Circuit: Geriatric Psychiatry

Hundreds of physicians and other healthcare professionals focused on late-life mental illness are headed to Atlanta next week to hear about cutting-edge research and clinical innovations and to interact with industry leaders and other attendees.

**Association:** American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry

**Conference:** 2019 Annual Meeting

**Venue:** Hilton Atlanta

**Location:** Atlanta, Georgia

Following preconference workshops, [AAGP2019 (opens in a new tab)](http://www.aagpmeeting.org)
 begins on Thursday evening with an opening plenary, which includes an awards presentation and an address from AAGP’s president-elect. Also on the agenda:

**Personalized medicine.** The 2019 Neuroscience Teaching Day is focused on personalized medicine. Three presentations and a panel discussion will examine the role of patient-centered research designs in personalizing treatment of depression, a leading cause of morbidity in older adults.

**Next-gen professionals.** The AAGP Scholars Program provides an opportunity for psychiatry residents and medical students to attend the meeting and take part in a special educational track. The program’s goal is to encourage these scholars to pursue specialized training in geriatric psychiatry.

**Hot topics.**During afternoon roundtable discussions, attendees will have the chance to engage in informal chat with colleagues on pertinent topics. Among them: telehealth, cognitive disability, and psychiatric symptoms in preclinical and early clinical stages of Alzheimer’s.
