CMSCG Academy
Education, Webinars & Speaking Engagements
CMSCG's education programs come from the same place as our consulting work — direct, current, hands-on experience with the regulatory environment our clients operate in every day. Whether we're presenting at a state association conference, leading a webinar on an emerging compliance topic, or developing online courses for post-acute providers, the goal is the same: practical knowledge that people can actually use.
Speaking Engagements
Upcoming Speaking Engagements
CMSCG's consultants present regularly at industry conferences and association events — sharing practical, experience-based insights on survey readiness, regulatory compliance, quality improvement, and the clinical and operational topics that matter most to post-acute providers.
CMSCG is a frequent and trusted presenter for NYSHFA-NYSCAL — the New York State Health Facilities Association and the New York State Center for Assisted Living — one of the region's leading long-term care industry associations. We are proud to be a go-to resource for NYSHFA-NYSCAL's education programming and look forward to continuing that partnership into 2027 and beyond.
Nutritional Directors Leadership Workshop
A four-hour online workshop for Nutrition Directors and dietary professionals in post-acute and long-term care. Kelly and Danielle look at recent New York survey citations and what they mean for your department: the regulatory requirements, the dining experience, and the clinical nutrition care residents receive.
2026 Survey Trends & Tips
New York's top four recertification tags didn't budge in 2026, which means the same gaps are costing providers year after year. Join CMS Compliance Group's interdisciplinary team for a recap of 2026 survey activity across the state, including the most frequently cited Health and Life Safety Code deficiencies, Area Office–specific trends, and an update on the brand-new Risk-Based Survey (RBS) in New York.
