Know a Resident or Fellow Interested in LTC?
The AMDA Foundation Futures Program, chaired by Cheryl L. Phillips,
MD, CMD, introduces residents and fellows to the numerous career
opportunities available in long term care and provides scholarships for
them to attend the AMDA Annual Symposium. Each year, more than 60 early
career physicians participate in this highly popular event. All PGY II
or III Internal Medicine or Family Physician residents and PGY IV or V
Geriatric Medicine Fellows are eligible for the program.
Participants receive:
- Admission to the Futures Program, March 4, 2004
- Registration for the AMDA Annual Symposium, March 4-7, 2004
- Transportation to and from the symposium
- Lodging while at the symposium
- AMDA membership for one year
Futures Program attendees learn practical job search techniques and
important information about the medical director's role in the
continuum of care. They receive a real-world perspective on medical
direction in nursing homes, and discuss typical case studies with AMDA
members.
The Futures program is supported by a contribution from Janssen
Pharmaceutica. Residents or fellows who are interested in participating
and attending the AMDA Annual Symposium may request an application by
contacting the Foundation at 410/992-3134 or amdafoundation@amda.com. The deadline for applications is January 7, 2004.
