Practice Management Institute®, the New Mexico Medical Society, and the Greater Albuquerque Medical
Association Announce Sweeping State-wide Training Initiative for Affiliated Medical Practice Staff
Practice Management Institute is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the New Mexico Medical
Society (NMMS) and the Greater Albuquerque Medical Association (GAMA) in a joint effort to provide affordable
medical practice specific training and certification opportunities to its state-wide membership. This partnership
supports the strong commitment of NMMS and GAMA to enhance the knowledge base of medical practice staff
through education. The goal of the collaboration is to advance the educational opportunities of affiliated practice
staff by providing easily accessible resources from the industry experts.
So often, providers and practice leadership are hard-pressed to find quality, localized, in-person or web-based
educational opportunities for their team. As in many industries, the rules and regulations safeguarding the
business of medicine are numerous and oft changing, especially those relating to and directly affecting
reimbursement. In this venture, New Mexico practices will now be able to choose from a well-rounded selection
of courses that will go far to elevate staff and solidify the bottom-line success of the medical practice.
Bi-monthly programming will begin in May, and 2024 topics will cover all facets of practice operations such as
front desk excellence, patient experience, coding, billing, reimbursement, and compliance sessions, as well as
the nationally recognized Certified Medical Office Manager (CMOM®) legacy certification and other certification
programs offered by PMI.
“Recruitment and retention of physicians in New Mexico is the underpinning of everything that New
Mexico Medical Society does. One of our key strategies is to improve the professional and practice
lives of our members. After speaking with PMI and learning about the practical education that they
offer for medical office leadership and team members, we knew this partnership would further our
goals of offering top-notch services to our members.” Annie Jung- Executive Director. NM Medical
Society
"I’d like to personally acknowledge the vision demonstrated by NMMS Executive Director Annie Jung, NMMS
Operations Manager Adriane D’Angelico, and GAMA Executive Director Jason Espinoza. The value and
importance they place on being able to provide organizationally hosted and accessible educational programming
is inspiring," said PMI Vice President Michael Moore. "NMMS and GAMA are trend-setting organizations, and
PMI is proud to be of service to them in this initiative. Our companies share a common mission to help medical office personnel stay on top of the latest industry changes, trends, and solutions. In addition, I’ve learned
firsthand the kind of importance they place on professional empowerment, and PMI stands firmly behind the
commitment they have to their membership."
Since 1886, the New Mexico Medical Society (NMMS) has been dedicated to the advancement of medical science
to serve NM health care needs. Through the elevation of the standards of medical education, the enactment
and enforcement of just medical laws, and the promotion of medical ethics as set forth by the American Medical
Association, NMMS seeks to keep members of the medical profession at the forefront of medical practices. From
their annual medical conference to ongoing continuing education, from physician advocacy before the New
Mexico Legislature to the United States Congress, NMMS works to improve health care and support the
physicians who provide patient care and ancillary services.
Representing over 1,000 physicians, the Greater Albuquerque Medical Association is the premier professional
membership organization open to those licensed physicians (MD or DO), residents, and interns living or working
in the greater Albuquerque area. They represent physicians in every specialty of medicine. GAMA has a strong
professional relationship with NMMS, specialty societies and other medical professional organizations. Their
function as a grassroots professional organization is to focus on the interests of physicians and their patients,
working to promote the general health of the community.
