Summer and Winter Management Conferences
Medical directors new to long term care management/leadership
challenges as well as those who have served for several years without
formal training will want to attend one of the Conferences on Management and Medical Direction in Long Term Care.
Both Summer and Winter Management Conferences include Modules A, B, and
C of AMDA's Core Curriculum. Topic areas include federal and state
regulations, residents' rights, dilemmas in biomedical ethics, quality
and risk management, medical information management, management
functions, governance, and the medical director's role and contract.
Participants often share that they were unaware of federal and state
mandates that direct the roles, functions, and responsibilities of
medical directors.
The Summer Conference dates are August 12-17, 2002, in Seattle,
Washington, and Winter Conference dates are December 2-7, 2002, in
Savannah, Georgia. Participants of previous conferences should note the
new beginning date of Monday afternoon with completion of the course
early Saturday afternoon and plan their travel and lodging accordingly.
The Winter Conference
expands on topic areas of the Core Curriculum by offering advanced
sessions on topic issues of most critical interest to experienced
medical directors. The Advanced Course in Medical Direction will be
offered on December 3-5, 2002 in Savannah, Georgia. Most participants
in the Advanced Course will remain for the Curriculum on Clinical
Management in Long Term Care to be offered December 5-7, 2002. This
year the advanced course will provide updated information on regulatory
issues and payment reform, leadership issues, and information mastery
and management. The clinical course will include discussion on emerging
studies and treatment options in wound care, osteoporosis, fall
prevention, pain management and antibiotic resistant microorganisms. A
session on ethical decision-making will guide participants through a
series of case studies.
