The American College of Medical Practice Executives

Established in 1956, the American College of Medical Practice Executives (ACMPE) is the standard-setting and certification body of the Medical Group Management Association. ACMPE offers board certification and Fellowship in medical practice management. ACMPE's mission is to continually improve the performance of medical group practice professionals and the organizations they represent. Their vision is to be the recognized leader in defining and supporting the profession of medical group management. Some benefits of board certification:

• Provides a distinct advantage over other candidates when seeking employment and promotions
• Assists you in justifying more salary, on average, than noncertified professionals
• Can be used as a part of a professional growth plan you can develop with your employer

The board certification exam assesses your:

• Knowledge and understanding of the broad scope of medical practice management principles and issues

• Oral communication skills

ACMPE board certified professionals enjoy:

• Professional respect from physicians, peers and colleagues
