Welcome
The Michigan Medical Directors Association is a professional association of medical directors, physicians and other licensed independent practitioners practicing in the long term care continuum dedicated to excellence in patient care.
On this site, MIMDA will post original materials along with links to existing resources, tools, articles and legislative information designed to advance our mission to improve patient care and promote the professional development of long term care practitioners. MIMDA members are encouraged to submit non-commercial, long term care related items which they feel should be shared with our members.

The document is designed to assist physicians and other prescribers in their efforts to ensure proper controlled substances prescribing in long term care, and deal with aggressive enforcement actions by Drug Enforcement Administration agents.
