Practice Management Institute Expands Partnership with Tyler Junior College to Bring Important Continuing Education Opportunities to Local and Regional Medical Practice Staff
PMI is pleased to announce that we are expanding our partnership with Tyler Junior College (TJC). Working closely to offer PMI continuing educational programming covering front desk operations, patient experience, coding, billing, compliance, and reimbursement, as well as the nationally recognized PMI certifications, this new phase in our partnership will focus exclusively on the success of the local and regional healthcare industry, providers, and practice staff.
So often, providers and practice leadership are hard-pressed to find quality, localized, in-person 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 #TJCPMI venture, area medical 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.
Training will begin in April with PMI’s benchmark Certified Medical Office Manager (CMOM®) certification course. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs for certified medical office managers will increase by 20% by 2026. As the baby boomer generation retires, certified medical practice managers will be in high demand. With the advanced knowledge gained in the disciplines of Practice Management, Personnel Management, Financial Management, Compliance Requirements, and the Managed Care Delivery System, the successful CMOM® candidate will gain a definite edge in the industry.
Much gratitude to TJC's Judie Bower, Senior Director - Development & Operations for her out of the box thinking and collaboration, and to Tiffany Spalding, Program Development Manager- it's so great to work with individuals who are so passionate about the power of training!
TJC is one of the largest community colleges in Texas, with 306 full-time faculty members and 248 part-time faculty members, and nearly 13,000 students enrolled. For 96 years, TJC has embodied the true sense of the term "community college," as reflected in its foundational promises to provide students with a quality education, a vibrant student life, and opportunities for service to the community.
