He reminds me that life is way more than just work. Spending time outdoors with my wife and my 21-month old son. I also enjoy reading Modern Healthcare to stay up to speed on the ever-changing landscape. MGMA is an incredible resource for practice management leaders. What is your favorite book or website or resource for practice managers? Visit other practices and observe what they do well don't ever stop looking for ways to learn from others. I learned more than any textbook could teach me from working side by side with employees and eating lunch in the break room with them. If you've never washed a wheelchair or answered incoming calls, don't be a afraid to get your hands dirty. If you've never bought supplies for your practice, take a stab at it. If you've never worked the front desk, do it. What is the best tip you give to people who are just starting a career in practice management?ĭon't limit yourself in any way latch on to any experience that you can because you never know who you might meet or what you might learn. While there were times I considered being a physician because of my compassion for patients, I fell in love with the business side and was driven to see that any practice I was involved with would provide the best patient experience and be sound operationally so that patients would always have a place to obtain quality care. This opportunity opened my eyes to the inner workings of a practice, and the physician leaders and practice administrator allowed me to gain so many experiences during those years that taught me so much. My mother deserves a lot of the credit she dropped my brother and I off at our local rural health clinic back in 1998 to volunteer for the summer to keep us out of trouble, and I kept coming back every summer and holiday I could for the next ten years. How did you decide that practice management was the career for you?
I didn't realize the amount of work that volunteers provide to ensure other practice leaders have these incredible tools, so it is very rewarding to share with others the knowledge and experiences I've had up to this point. I've been a consumer of MGMA resources for several years now, and though I'm still somewhat of an early careerist, I feel that I have something to contribute. What do you find most rewarding about volunteering for MGMA? It's the connections I've made with those MGMA leaders that hooked me early on and have kept me coming back ever since. You have access to so many exceptional, experienced leaders, as well as so many tools and resources that you can access almost anytime. MGMA is really the gold standard for practice management leaders. Why did you decide to get involved with MGMA?
