Evidence-Based Clinical Management and Leadership for Experienced Medical Directors and Attending Physicians

Each year, AMDA offers this course that is specifically geared to the needs of physicians who have provided management and clinical care services in the long term care environment.  Unlike AMDA's Core Curriculum on Medical Direction, the Evidence-Based Course is revised each year to meet emerging needs, share clinical innovations, and hone skills related to leadership and management challenges.  Among topics under consideration for the 2009 course are:  ethical challenges, leadership, emerging clinical information, unique mental health issues in the LTC setting, and the influence of cultural and religious diversity on the physician's approach to caring for residents and their families.  Roundtable discussions or Q&A with a panel of experts will provide lively interaction to sharing strategies and solving problems.

Target Audience:

If you are an experienced medical director or attending physician, this program is created especially to meet your practical needs for professional growth.

Content is applicable to any setting or combination of settings across the long term care continuum. The course provides practical insights and tools with implications for immediate implementation upon return home. Participation in the Evidence-Based Course is also an excellent way to earn required education hours for recertification.

Medical Directors who are interested in becoming CMDs are required to take AMDA’s Core Curriculum on Medical Direction. Please refer to www.amda.com/education/core on AMDA’s web site for description and registration information.
