The Florida Medical Directors Association was formed in 1990, to help medical directors, attending physicians and other providers, practicing in post acute care, navigate their way through the continuum of care spectrum.

FMDA is the official state affiliate of the American Medical Directors Association and members include physicians, nurse practitioners and pharmacists.

FMDA has grown rapidly in the last few years. It 
has nearly 350 physician members and in
October 1999, voted to have a nurse practitioner
on the Board as a non-voting member.
