Practice Management Institute and the Medical Society of Virginia Announce Training Partnership

SAN ANTONIO - June 27, 2018 - PRLog -- Practice Management Institute (PMI) today revealed an expanded training partnership with the Medical Society of Virginia (MSV), which will make accessible numerous, affordable medical practice-specific training and credentialing opportunities for its membership throughout the state.

Training opportunities will begin in early August at their offices in Richmond, with an expanded outreach program to follow.  This initiative will roll out with a regional focus, making important content accessible in a variety of venues, to Virginia medical practices in cities large and small.

"In today's demanding healthcare landscape, an experienced team is critical to providing high-quality care for patients," said Lauren Bates-Rowe, Assistant Vice President of Health Policy for MSV. "We are excited to again offer courses that meet the needs of practice executives from across the Commonwealth."

The goal is to help providers and staff access training for all areas of the business side of healthcare, which are necessary for running a successful practice.  This includes coding, billing, management, and compliance. Nationally recognized PMI certification courses in these areas will also be offered.

Michael Moore, PMI Vice President of Business Development, acknowledges and appreciates the passion, commitment, and determination behind the MSV desire to be a catalyst for physician prosperity. "Our missions are very much aligned: to help medical office personnel in all specialties stay on top of the latest industry changes, trends and solutions," said Moore.  "A well-trained staff allows the provider to focus on the patient, which is why they got into medicine in the first place."

"I have had the privilege of working with PMI to offer medical office staff education in the Northern Virginia region for many years.  I couldn't be more delighted that PMI has renewed its affiliation with the Medical Society of Virginia to offer physician practices in the Commonwealth the invaluable education and quality training PMI is known for," says Michele Eckhardt, Physician Relations, Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center.

Richard Belden, Chief Financial Officer for MSV agrees.  "We are extremely excited to reestablish our partnership with PMI," he said. "The quality of the curriculum is an important part of our decision to offer these courses to our very diverse membership."

Established in 1820, the Medical Society of Virginia is a professional association deeply committed to improving the lives of all physicians in the state, regardless of specialty, and to the patients they serve.  Today, the Medical Society of Virginia leads the way in advocating for patient protections and for access to the highest quality health care for all Virginians.
