Journey to Becoming a Certified Medical Director (CMD)
Whether you’re pursing your CMD for personal growth and education, or to fulfill a state or organization mandate, we urge you to make the most out of your journey.
The saying “it takes a village” applies to more than raising a family. It takes a village to thrive as a medical director. Make your job easier and more enjoyable by learning from industry experts and establishing relationships with others serving in this function. Both AMDA and CALTCM provide you with education and resources to make your job easier. You don’t have to do this alone!
