Letter from the President

Dear conference attendee,

On behalf of the Canadian Geriatrics Society (CGS), I wish to welcome you to the 39th Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM).

The Scientific Committee has put together a wonderful program based on the theme Frailty: The Joy of Geriatrics. This should appeal to the diverse professional demographic that attends this meeting and makes up our membership.

This year we have three pre-conference events from May 1-2. On May 1st we are excited to provide a pre-conference one-day symposium on continence. This will be followed on May 2nd by the CME day for practitioners who wish to gain practical skills in the care of older adults, and by the popular Resident Education Day, an excellent educational event for residents and students.

The CGS is committed to delivering an informative and innovative meeting. The formal program provides an assortment of engaging plenary sessions delivered by carefully selected speakers along with a selection of workshops that should make your experience at the CGS ASM a positive one. We look forward to your participation and encourage your feedback as we strive to meet the needs of those who attend.

I sincerely hope that you will enjoy the interactions with your colleagues and encourage you to network with others in the diverse field of geriatrics.

Finally, if you are not a member of the Canadian Geriatrics Society, please consider becoming one. If you are a member, thank you for your membership! Should you want to get more involved in the activities of the CGS, we are always looking for energetic people, so please contact us at [email protected].

Thank you for joining us in Halifax. I am anticipating another great ASM! If you encounter any members of the ASM Planning Committee please thank them for the great work they have done on our behalf.

Sincerely,

Frank MolnarCGS President

Letter from the Scientific Planning Committee Chair

Dear conference delegate,

Welcome to the Canadian Geriatrics Society’s 39th Annual Scientific Meeting, and welcome back to Halifax! The last time we held our meeting in Halifax was in 2005. That year we had 45 abstract submissions and I’m not sure of the attendance but it would probably have been around 150 – the Society has grown so much since then. This year we almost tripled our abstract submission, actually receiving a record number for the CGS meetings, and received 126 abstracts.

Being in Halifax, the home of frailty research, we naturally chose the theme of our meeting this year as Frailty: The Joy of Geriatrics. We hope we’ve pulled together an interesting and stimulating program, which will leave you with ideas to incorporate into your practice and questions for the future. Of course, don’t forget the opportunity to share experiences with the other conference attendees, both old friends and new.

If any of you are asked to organize one of these conferences in the future don’t fear! The Secretariat will lead you through the process with the greatest of ease. The outline and structure provided by the Society is simple to follow. Our committee has done great work, with Jasmine Mah and Alex Rogers pulling together a great day for the residents and Gary Altenkirk organizing what is showing all signs of being a popular CME day. My colleagues here in our Dalhousie Division of Geriatric Medicine helped greatly with identifying topics and approaching speakers. Heidi Schmaltz and Barry Goldlist kept us on our toes, making sure the whole thing would be accredited.

Have a great conference,

Chris MacKnightCGS ASM Chair

On behalf of the CGS Board, we would like to thank the 2019 ASM Planning Committee for their hard work in putting this program together!

07:30 – 08:15 Nutrition SIG – Annual Meeting Chair: José A. Morais Nutrition is the cornerstone to healthy aging and since malnutrition has tremendous deleterious effects on health and physical function of older adults, a proposition to create a SIG in nutrition was endorsed by the CGS Executive in 2017. The objectives of this SIG are based on suggestions from members with an interest in nutrition and a goal to share knowledge and experiences, and to advance the field. We held our foundational meeting during the 2018 ASM in Montreal. Membership is comprised of 12 members and the coordinators are Drs. José Morais (Montreal) and Peter Spadafora (Guelph). During the past year, Drs. Morais, Peitsch (Manitoba) and Powers (Ottawa) organized a workshop for the 2019 ASM: Malnutrition in Older Adults: One Cannot Treat What is Not Identified. We are holding our second annual meeting and wish to further develop our activities. Please join us if you find nutrition to be an important aspect of our care, and if you want to become a leader on nutritional issues in your milieu.
