The Harris County Medical Society (HCMS) has announced an exciting new initiative with Practice Management Institute® (PMI) to provide specialized training and certification opportunities for medical practice staff affiliated with HCMS. This venture aims to equip healthcare teams with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the ever-changing landscape of medical practice operations.
Practice Management Institute (PMI) is pleased to announce that it will be providing affordable, medical practice-specific training and certification opportunities to Harris County Medical Society (Houston) members.
So often, physicians and practice leadership are hard-pressed to find quality, localized, in-person, or web-based educational opportunities for their teams. As in many industries, the rules and regulations safeguarding the business of medicine are numerous and often changing, especially those relating to and directly affecting reimbursement. With this opportunity, HCMS-affiliated physicians and staff will now be able to choose from a well-rounded selection of practice management courses.
Monthly live, web-based programming will begin in February, and 2025 topics will cover numerous facets of practice operations, such as front desk practices, patient experience, coding, billing, reimbursement, and compliance sessions. The nationally recognized Certified Medical Office Manager (CMOM®) certification, offered by PMI, will also be available in a live classroom setting twice in 2025, during the spring and fall.
The mission of the Harris County Medical Society is to be the leading advocate for its member physicians, their patients, and their community by promoting the best standards of ethical medical practice, access to quality medical care, medical education, research, and community health. Established in 1903, HCMS has grown to become the largest county medical society in the United States. With a membership of more than 14,000 physicians and medical students, it is the professional organization for physicians in Harris County.
For over four decades, Practice Management Institute® (PMI) has been a national resource in the training and certification of physicians and staff in management, coding, billing, auditing, and compliance. With a robust curriculum for all roles within the medical practice setting, new and experienced practice staff learn current guidelines and practices to help perform more effectively in their roles. Live classes and online learning options are available year-round, taught by instructors with direct experience in healthcare administration. HCMS and its related parties provide no guarantees, warranties, or endorsements regarding PMI or the services it offers.
