AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine

AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine is the premier professional association for medical directors, physicians, and practitioners working in the post-acute and long-term care (PALTC) continuum. Founded in 1977, the organization represents over 50,000 professionals across various settings, including nursing homes, assisted living, and home care environments. It is the only medical specialty society dedicated specifically to PALTC medicine, providing essential clinical practice guidelines, specialized education, and professional certification. AMDA plays a critical role in healthcare advocacy, collaborating with federal agencies like CMS and the CDC to shape regulatory policies and improve the quality of care for the geriatric population. Additionally, the society publishes JAMDA, a leading peer-reviewed journal focused on evidence-based practices and clinical research in long-term care.
