CALTCM Goes Green!

Our 36th Annual Meeting: Creating a Culture of Patient Safety, is rapidly approaching. As an added incentive to our membership and program participants, we have elected to post all CME/CEU/CE presentations here in a downloadable PDF format. Many of us who have attended this year’s American Medical Directors Association (AMDA) and National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) meetings are familiar with this trend. This new method for referencing program materials is a convenient and paperless alternative to the traditional (often times heavy and bulky) program syllabus.

The PDF files will initially be available on our website exclusively to pre-registered Annual Meeting participants. This will allow you to access these materials in advance of the program. All paid participants will be granted a special access code upon registration. These files will subsequently be made available to the CALTCM membership for a limited period after the meeting.

CALTCM’s decision to “Go Green” was primarily spurred by our ongoing effort to be environmentally conscious organization. Secondly, by keep our printing and material costs down, CALTCM is able to pass along the savings to our membership and program participants by continuing to offer low and affordable registration rates.

Please encourage your colleagues to visit our website, become a part of our wonderful organization, and consider attending our outstanding Annual Meeting in July.
