The AMDA Foundation is pleased to announce the return of an exciting opportunity for residents and fellows who are interested in long term care practice: the AMDA Foundation Futures Program.

Online applications for the 2012 AMDA Foundation Futures Program are now available. The application deadline is November 14, 2011. Please be sure to read all of the Application Details before submitting an application.

Held during the Long Term Care Medicine-2012 (formerly AMDA's annual symposium) this intensive learning experience is designed to expose residents and fellows to the numerous career opportunities available in long term care. All participants who are chosen for this competitive award will receive the following benefits:

  • Admission to the AMDA Foundation Futures Program on March 8, 2012
  • Registration to the Long Term Care Medicine 2012 (formerly called AMDA's Annual Symposium) March 8-11, 2012 in San Antonio, TX

  • Four nights lodging from March 7-10, 2012 (to be shared with one Futures Program participant)
Due to funding constraints there are a very limited number of full awards available. Many fellowship and/or residency programs will pay for travel/lodging to one professional conference per year. Talk with your program director and let them know that this is THE Long Term Care Medicine program to attend in 2012!
