Best Care Practices in the Post-Acute & Long-Term Care Continuum 2024 (BCP) will be held Oct. 31-Nov. 2, 2024, at Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, 14100 Bonnet Creek Resort Ln., Orlando, FL 32821. Joint-providership for CMEs is through AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine and FMDA – The Florida Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine and is planned in collaboration with Florida Chapters of GAPNA, NADONA, and FGS. BCP will also feature FMDA’s 33rd Annual Conference.
Due to the success of previous years’ efforts, we are once again offering opportunities for interested organizations to hold non-CME/CPE/CE educational programs in conjunction with this annual program. We expect to host between 150 and 225 physicians, physician assistants, pharmacists, advanced practice nurses, directors of nursing, and other senior health care professionals seeking the latest in clinical and practice-oriented information.
Companies funding program proposals must be exhibitors and/or official supporters of Best Care Practices in the Post-Acute & Long-Term Care Continuum 2024. All external programming intended for attendees of this meeting must be submitted in the form of an application. Please be advised that no outside events can be held at or in conjunction with the conference without prior approval.

The fee to secure any of the twelve (12) time slots are shown on the Product Theater Application available linked here.

It will be expected that the maximum number of attendees will be accommodated.
