UMW Practice Management Certificate Program

The Practice Management Certification Program will address the number of skilled workers to effectively run medical (primary care, etc.) offices. We will bring in a nationally recognized industry credentialing body, the Practice Management Institute (PMI), to certify the participants and further develop efficient and accurate practices. UMW will begin by offering the Certified Medical Office Manager Certificate Program. Participants in the program will complete a certification course and complete the exam.
This project will also research the impact of healthcare access on growth of the targeted indsustry clusters in the region before beginning the certification cohort.
