Advancing Geriatric Medicine Education in long term care in the state of Maine & Advocating for Geriatric Providers and their Patients
Want to know what's new in Geriatric Medicine?
The Maine Medical Directors Association in Biddeford holds an annual conference to educate long term care healthcare professionals in Portland, Maine about a variety of geriatric topics.
Feel free to get in touch with our team to register or to look up past topics from prior conferences.
Our organization is also happy to be a resource of nursing home medical directors, DONs, and administrators to help them implement best practices and tackle problems.
We are a standalone not for profit association, and we are proud to work with other organizations in the state to advance the cause of improved care for the elderly across our state.
Last but not least we advocate for Geriatric patients for better access to care and removing obstacles to improved quality of medical services.
Thanks for making our most recent Annual Conference a success!
