PHYSICIAN PRACTICE MANAGERS TO "SHARE KNOWLEDGE" IN BILOXI

   Approximately 400 members and affiliates of the Professional Association of Health Care Office Managers (PAHCOM) are gearing up to gather at the Beau Rivage in Biloxi, Mississippi, for their 12th Annual Conference from September 19-23, 2000. Physician practice managers are eager to take advantage of the educational and networking opportunities available, and also to review top of the line" products and services offered by the 35 exhibitors present. PAHCOM (pronounced pay-com) will also once again administer the nationally recognized certification examination for physician office practice managers. The exam is scheduled for September 19, 2000, and is offered exclusively to members of the Association.

   According to PAHCOM Executive Director, Rose Chambers, Our conferences are different because our members are different. They have positioned themselves above the run-of-the-mill office manager - they take pride in their practice(s) and strive to keep abreast of new developments in products and services that can help them be more efficient. They are eager to learn and anxious to explore new ideas, methods, and products. The networking , camaraderie, and sheer enthusiasm experienced at a PAHCOM conference is astounding, and unlike any conference anywhere!"

   PAHCOM is the perfect example of an idea whose time has come," says Chambers. Were succeeding because were providing services that have long been needed by health care managers working in physician offices - professionals whose needs are not directly addressed in other state and national organizations. Our motto Share Knowledge," is at the very heart and purpose of our association. Boasting a rapidly-growing membership of nearly 3,200, the organizations membership consists of a variety of health care professionals in medical, dental, osteopathic, and allied science professions.
