Some presenters at the Keynote Address on “The Year in Review” at AMDA — The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine’s upcoming annual conference shared some of their thoughts about the direction of PALTC research, the challenges researchers face, and the opportunities for practitioners to learn from and participate in studies.
