NAPGCM Chapters
The work of the geriatric care manager is rewarding, however, it can be stressful and cause one to feel isolated at times, especially in a small or solo practice. NAPGCM Chapters offer you opportunities to connect with professional colleagues, providing you with a venue in which you all "speak the same language," regardless of the professional discipline from which you work. (The list of NAPGCM Chapters is below.)
Chapters offer excellent opportunities to meet with colleagues on a local or regional basis. In addition to sharing and learning from one another, chapters provide a variety of opportunities for educational and professional growth. Chapter membership is included in your national membership.
Chapters offer services that are aimed at providing you with:
- Leadership training
- Peer support and supervision
- Business and professional development
- Educational opportunities
- Cutting edge clinical information
- A united front for the profession: a means of professional identification
|
- Networking opportunities
- A venue to share and learn about new and exciting resources
- Increased business through referrals from those out of your specific geographic area, and even sometimes from a local colleague
- Joint marketing opportunities
- Local units are available in many chapters, providing an opportunity to share ideas and concerns on a more local basis
