The role of the nursing home medical director is more important than ever, with constant changes in regulatory requirements and a rapidly growing elderly population. Both as practitioners and as medical directors, physicians in the nursing home are becoming increasingly important and visible. 

Medical directors need help in understanding their roles, and in dealing with the many difficult clinical, professional, administrative, ethical, and public policy issues. NC / SC MDA is the source of this help in the Carolinas, and offers representation in the regulatory and legislative areas as well. 

Due to the new realities of long term care and recognizing the need for a positive voice for medical directors, NC/SC MDA is taking the initiative to represent, educate, and advocate on behalf of physicians who practice in long term care settings.
