This is part of AMDA’s new “Stop By-Give Back” program, an innovative initiative that allows you to support the Futures program while visiting exhibits. “For every long term care AMDA member, we need at least two—and preferably more—coming up in the ranks. It is essential that we capture every geriatric fellow not only to stimulate growth in our field but also to continue to raise the bar for medical direction in long term care,” said Cari Levy, MD, CMD, co-chair of the Futures Program and a Futures alumna. In recent years, industry sponsorship for such programs has dwindled, and the Foundation has used grassroots fundraising efforts with state chapters, physician practices, and others to support the Futures Program. The Stop By--Give Back initiative will help encourage a new generation of physicians to become LTC leaders.
