American College of Medical Practice Executives

Both are headquartered in Englewood, Colo. Nearly 6,000 members strong, ACMPE developed the standard-setting Body of Knowledge for Medical Practice Management[3].

It grants nationally recognized certification[2] and fellowship[4] designations to the most accomplished medical practice executives and leaders in the profession[5].

Certification (CMPE) requires candidates who have the requisite two years of relevant experience to demonstrate their proficiency through objective and essay examinations and presentations that include content from the Body of Knowledge for Medical Practice Management[6].

Fellowship (FACMPE) requires the submission of a professional paper or series of case studies by members who have already earned the CMPE designation[7].

Its resources help the American College of Medical Practice Executives support and promote the professional growth of leaders[9].
