Medical practice management is one of the fastest growing and most rewarding careers in health care administration. It is also demanding, requiring a knowledge and skill set unique to the group practice environment. The second edition of the Body of Knowledge for Medical Practice Management is the primary resource for those seeking to assess and develop their abilities in this profession. It also provides the content framework for the American College of Medical Practice Executives (ACMPE) board certification program.

Developed and published by ACMPE, the standard-setting and certification body of the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), this body of knowledge is the most comprehensive resource available in the field. This second edition, introduced in 2008, is based on an extensive study of the work of group practice management professionals. The update reflects a vibrant and evolving industry and advances the profession and our colleagues as professionals.
