What is ACMPE?
One of the goals of every practice manager should be to increase awareness and skills to properly manage the medical practice.
The American College of Medical Practice Executives is an organization geared to help Medical Practice Administrators improve and advance their career. In Mississippi, we gear our educational programs around the Body of Knowledge.
The Body of Knowledge is an industry standard for medical practice management much like a physician’s standard of care in a medical specialty. The 5 core areas covered in this training program are:
- Professionalism
- Leadership
- Communication Skills
- Organizational and Analytical Skills
- Technical/Professional Knowledge and Skills
