OMAs Practice Roundtable is Back!  We are pleased to once again provide education and information specifically for the OMA's medical office practice manager. The Practice Roundtable group offers a space for OMA member practice managers to discuss challenging legal and regulatory issues facing managers, physicians, and physician assistants.

Recent Roundtable topics have included best practices for caring for the aging patient, a session on office compliance policies and procedures, and clinic de-escalation strategies. Most sessions will include updates from various OMA departments, including Practice Advocacy, Medical-Legal and Government Relations. And of course a selection of interesting case studies and discussions led by attendees...like you!
