MEDICAL DIRECTOR COURSE

The OLTCC’s Medical Director Course is mandated by the Ministry of Long Term Care for all Medical Directors in Ontario to take the course within a year of being in their position, or those that have not yet taken the course and have been a Medical Director for a number of years.  Here is the link to that legislation and what it outlines: Section 251 (1) #4 https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/220246#BK311

 

This course is designed to prepare physicians in Long-Term care to be informed and skilled Medical Directors. With a thorough knowledge of the sector and development of appropriate skills, LTC medical directors will improve the quality of care for residents in their facilities.
