PALTC Practitioners' Forum
The PMDA PALTC Practitioners’ Forum is designed to enhance communication and collaboration among PMDA members. The intent is to foster discussion and information sharing regarding administrative, clinical, and best practices issues related to LTC medicine. The responses are usually quick, thorough and on point; it is like having a panel of experts to consult at literally just a mouse click away.

Public Policy
PMDA is one of the few AMDA state chapters that has a functioning and very active Public Policy Committee that works diligently to fight for our members on a large variety of issues. For example, we were instrumental in working with the State to streamline the recent infection control regulations. PMDA has also been able to work as part of a coalition of long-term care providers on a wide range of issues that affect the daily practices of all PA post-acute and long-term care practitioners.
Webinars
Throughout the year, PMDA hosts webinars that address important issues in the practice of long-term care medicine and use an informal “iron sharpens iron” approach to peer-assisted professional growth, providing a sounding board for disseminating innovative care in both the clinical and administrative realm.
Annual Symposium
Each Fall, PMDA’s Education Committee plans and hosts an outstanding educational program featuring distinguished faculty presenting cutting edge topic reviews of long term care medicine. The Symposium has consistently grown in attendance and remains our most popular forum for networking. Members receive a discounted registration rate.
Other Resources/Publications
PMDA membership guarantees a complimentary subscription to PMDA E-News, provided to members monthly. This newsletter features Annual Symposium updates and informational articles.
