Member testimonial: NYSPALTC is essential for our professional development, to have a medical organization/association, such as NYPALTC, to provide us with up-to-date knowledge, trends, and findings. It provides peer-to-peer support, and is a critical entity for providing initial CMD accreditation and ongoing necessary CME/CMD credits to promote an ongoing, active certification status. I relied on this group, as well as my peers in this field, to begin my journey as a Certified Medical Director, and continue my career in post-acute and long term care! THANK YOU, and we all count on this phenomenal network! - Dr V. D.
