Zim-GeN: The Zimbabwe Geriatrics Network
What is Zim-GeN?
We are a collaborative network of early-career clinicians with an interest in geriatric medicine spanning the UK, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. We meet online once a month for peer-to-peer teaching on a specialist topic within geriatric medicine. We have also set-up 1:1 mentorship pairings between members working in the UK and Africa for more targetted professional development and collaborative project work.
Are you a doctor working in the UK or Africa with an interest in geriatric medicine? If you’d like to join Zim-GeN please email Grace: grace.pearson@bristol.ac.uk
