AMGA’s CME Mission Statement
The American Medical Group Association’s continuing medical
education program strives to develop high quality learning
activities to respond to the educational needs of group practice
physicians in leadership positions. The Association’s continuing
medical education activities enable its members to share information
and innovations in order to remain current and continually improve
patient care by advancing the group practice model as the preferred
method of health care delivery. The Association accomplishes this
goal by offering timely, unparalleled learning activities including
an annual conference, regional meetings and distance learning tools.
AMGA advocates for the multispecialty group practice model of
health care delivery and for the patients served by medical groups
through innovation and information sharing, benchmarking, and
continuous striving to improve patient care. The Board of Directors
of AMGA has made a firm commitment to CME by creating and
maintaining a committee of the membership, The Education Committee,
to provide input and direction to the staff of the association to
assist in the development of timely, relevant educational activities
which will support the overall mission of the association.
The purpose of AMGA’s CME program is to help reform the health
care system by responding to the educational needs of physicians in
leadership positions. AMGA strives to identify high quality, timely
learning activities in areas of leadership development, care process
improvement, information technology, practice management, and
legislative issues of importance. The Association’s educational
activities are targeted to physician and non-physician
administrators of the nation’s multispecialty medical groups.
AMGA offers several continuing medical education activities
across the United States to allow the physician leaders an
opportunity to attend. AMGA holds one Annual Conference of the
association each year as well as several regional meetings and
one-and two day seminars.
Specific goals of the CME activities are to encourage and assist
in the development of the physician and non-physician leaders of
multispecialty group practices so they may remain current and to
advance the multispecialty medical group model as the preferred
delivery system for patient-centered, affordable, quality medical
care in America.
