Whether you are an office manager for a small private physician clinic or part of the C suite for a large hospital group, you play an important role in the balancing act that is medical group management.  Any given day could pull your focus in the direction of technology updates, regulatory changes, staffing shortages, and patient care efficiencies -  to just name a few!   

MTMGMA strives to support medical group practice professionals in their efforts to grow and improve for the organizations they represent.  

Our 2024 conference theme, Balancing Act – From Surviving to Thriving, speaks to the challenges facing healthcare administrators today. This year’s conference will be interactive and highlight industry knowledge and tools for professional development and growth. Speakers will touch on topics such as Value Based Leadership, Organizational Culture, and Emotional Intelligence. 

Our keynote speaker, Matt Jones, will present on how “Medical Management is a Marathon” and will also celebrate the 20 year anniversary of his bone marrow transplant during our conference. The entire conference agenda is focused on providing attendees with valuable resources to enhance daily medical practice management. Join Us!
