Help your staff earn their Certified Medical Practice Executive (CMPE) credential through Group Certification
As the only board certification of its kind, the Certified Medical Practice Executive (CMPE) credential is recognized as the professional standard in medical practice management — a unique identifier that can demonstrate expertise of the industry.
Organizations that offer Board Certification as a group through the American College of Medical Practice Executives (ACMPE) for staff development increasingly view it as a necessary tool in establishing and identifying the standard of excellence in medical practice administration and increased operational outcomes.
“In our profession, all of our physicians are board certified, and we would not consider hiring a physician if they were not board certified. And while [that is not yet the case] for you to work in a medical practice, that’s what we’re moving toward — and that people recognize this is the gold standard, an important component in your professional development.”
- Michael O’Connell, MHA, FACMPE, FACHE, Senior Vice President, Stanford HealthCare
The healthcare profession has always and will continue to evolve and change. To ensure that Board Certification continues to be the most effective, and relevant assessment of skills and abilities, the ACMPE Body of Knowledge was created to cover the broad areas of knowledge essential to successful medical practice operations. These domains and corresponding content are reviewed and updated regularly to remain timely and relevant.
