AMA
ConsultingLink®, part of the American Medical Association, carefully screened
and chose the top medical practice management consultants in the country --
advisors who have what it takes to help your practice thrive in today's constantly
changing healthcare environment. AMA did their homework to make your selection
process hassle-free. PMM is proud to have been a member of the AMA ConsultingLink®
network from 1993 until closure of the program in 2005.
To
be included in the AAFP Network of Medical Practice Management Consultants,
consultants are required to undergo an extensive application and peer review
process. Their credentials -- education, training and experience -- are carefully
evaluated. This ensures that they are qualified to provide you with the services
you request, and, most importantly, understand the unique needs of family physicians.
PMM is pleased to be among the few firms accepted by the AAFP Network of Consultants
FPAssist®.
Medical Economics Editorial Consultants are the experts in medical practice
management that you see listed in the front of each issue. Long before a consultant
is invited to join ME's consultant panel, they've established solid working
relationships with ME's editors. Editors call upon them when researching articles;
send them pre-publication copies of articles for their review inviting comments
and corrections to make sure ME has gotten the facts straight; and occasionally
publish articles that they've bylined. ME is confident that they know their
stuff.
