American Medical Directors Association(AMDA) Core Curriculum on Medical Direction in Long Term Care

The AMDA Core Curriculum on Medical Direction (Core Curriculum) guides participants through 22 critical areas of long term care management. Each topic builds on information shared and interactive exercises of the topics that precede to create a comprehensive and cohesive picture of medical direction in long term care. The Core Curriculum is presented in two parts, each reflecting elements of adult-learning practices. Part I of the Core Curriculum is a prerequisite for attending Part II. The Core Curriculum is presented over the span of seven days, Saturday evening through Friday afternoon. Parts I and II of the course may be taken at different times if necessary to accommodate individual physician's schedules. However, it is recommended that physicians take both parts of the course during the same week for the best possible learning experience.
