CIMA/ARI Mentoring Program (CAMP)

The CIMA/ARI Mentoring Program (CAMP) is offered in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry (AAGP). CAMP supports early career investigators by pairing them with experienced mentors who provide guidance on navigating the meeting, building professional connections, and engaging with the broader geriatric mental health research community.

Through structured and informal interactions, CAMP fosters mentorship, networking, and continued career development beyond the annual meeting.
