CHET R. MARSHALL
"Building For the Future By Taking A Firm Grip On The Present" |
|

Four areas of every
medical practice administrator's life continually need
construction or remodeling. Following this session you will be
able to dig more deeply into the American College of Medical
Practice Executives (ACMPE) Body of Knowledge to strengthen
your administrative foundation; construct a personal
grassroots political-advocacy strategy to serve your career,
practice and community; build effective relationships with
payers on multiple levels; and landscape your health care
technology habitat so it does not overrun you.
Chet R. Marshall is a speaker, author, consultant and
entrepreneur and has many years of experience in the medical
management field. He was one of the "founding fathers" of the
Anesthesia Administration Assembly.
Chet has presented numerous sessions for the MGMA at the
state, national and international levels for over 20 years. He
has also served in several committee and leadership capacities
with MGMA including a five-year term on the Governmental
Relations Committee. |
