The OLTCC Virtual Medical Director Course is designed to prepare physicians working in long-term care to be informed and skilled Medical Directors. With a thorough understanding of the sector and development of strong leadership and management skills, LTC Medical Directors are better equipped to improve the quality of care for residents in their facilities.

Ontario Regulation 246/22 (Regulation) under the Fixing Long-Term Care Act, 2021 (FLTCA) in Ontario sets requirements for LTC licensees to enter into written agreements with Medical Directors providing that Medical Directors will complete the OLTCC Medical Director Course within their first year in the role. This training supports ongoing education for Medical Directors as well as Nurse Practitioners and other Clinical Healthcare Personnel working in LTC homes. 

You can review the legislation here: Section 251 (1) #4.

This course is open to all Medical Directors, Incoming Medical Directors, Nurse Practitioners, and other clinicians working in or interested in the long-term care sector.

Although this program is geared toward Ontario Medical Directors, clinicians across Canada are welcome to attend to expand their understanding of long-term care medical leadership.

However, as this course is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Long-Term Care, only current or incoming Ontario Medical Directors are eligible for sponsored registration.
All other participants must register at a fee of $1,250.00 + HST.
