As summer winds down, CALTCM is looking ahead to a busy season of educational opportunities designed to support healthcare professionals across post-acute and long-term care.

Our next live program is the August installment of the CALTCM Webinar Series, Transitions of Care, on August 26. This timely webinar will explore best practices and practical strategies to improve communication, coordination, and patient outcomes across the continuum of care. Best of all, CALTCM's webinar series remains complimentary to everyone in PALTC—because when we learn together, we rise together.

If you're a California Medical Director—or preparing to become one—don't forget that California Medical Director On-Demand Education is available anytime. This enduring program provides practical, California-specific guidance on the regulatory and operational responsibilities unique to Medical Directors practicing in skilled nursing facilities, while allowing physicians to earn up to 16.0 CME and CMD management hours.

Looking ahead, we're excited to welcome colleagues from across California to CALTCM's 52nd Annual Meeting—the 2026 CALTCM Summit for Excellence, September 24–26 at Paradise Point Resort & Spa in San Diego. The program features three days of education, collaboration, and professional development designed to help healthcare leaders navigate today's challenges while advancing excellence in PALTC. Attendees can earn up to 18.0 hours of CME, CMD, ABIM MOC, BRN, and NAB credit (please see the accreditation statement for complete details - as credit designations vary).

Whether you join us for one program or all of them, we look forward to learning with you in the months ahead. Active CALTCM members can earn continuing education credit through the live webinar series, and physicians pursuing or renewing Certified Medical Director (CMD) certification can count on CALTCM as a trusted partner throughout their professional journey.
