required to define a profession? Logic suggests
it's a journey of exploration and examination that is an
ongoing process with remarkable challenges.
The truths of our profession, called the body of knowledge for
medical practice management, are documented performance levels
of competency and responsibility.

together this body of knowledge. The College is the
standard-setting and certification body of MGMA.

available to medical practice managers dealing with medical
group practice issues.
These resources offer assistance and insight in areas of group

Not only has the ACMPE brought the body of knowledge forward
to our profession, but it brings a pathway to professional
development and advancement.

certification program that yields respected credentials in our
industry.
