Georgia Pediatric Practice Managers Association (GPPMA)

In April 1996, the Georgia Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics approached pediatric practice managers and formed a professional networking and education association.  The group became the Georgia Pediatric Practice Managers Association.  GPPMA's stated purpose and goals can be found below.

GPPMA is your source for networking and meeting with fellow Pediatric Practice Managers to exchange ideas, learn new concepts and techniques, and stay current with management trends and updates. 

GPPMA is led by a volunteer Steering Committee who meet to discuss the business of the group and plan educational programs.  GPPMA works closely with the Georgia Chapter/AAP on issues relevant to pediatric practices.   

Purpose:

To provide an organized method of communication for networking and education focused on issues pertinent to pediatric practice management.

Goals and Objectives:

Conduct regular meetings for networking, exchanging ideas and problem solving by presenting educational programs on current trends in pediatric practice, health care and practice management issues.

Structure:

GPPMA does not require formal membership or dues and is open to all pediatric practice managers, administrators and staff.
