“The Practice Management Education Committee (PMEC) is charged to create contemporary content regarding the rapidly changing healthcare environment in which we find ourselves. These Practice Management education activities provide both foundational materials and new developments. The PMEC pledges to keep these offerings current while looking for opportunities to expand the scope of our education program. As chair of the PMEC, I encourage you to avail yourself of these resources.”
