Executive Fellowship in Practice Management Credential
Executive Fellowship in Practice Management (EFPM Credential)
Executive Practice Management covers myriad areas dealing with the physician practice. Executive Fellowship status is good for three years, with 16 units required for an additional three-year renewal to maintain the Fellowship credentials. To apply for the Executive Fellowship in Practice Management status you must meet the qualifications of the following:
EFPM Requirements
- Current employment in one or more areas of practice management.
- At least two years experience in practice management either full or part-time.
- Over the past two years, any combination of experience and continuing education units (CEU), professional contributions, awards and professional designations totaling 16 units.
Units are measured as follows:
- Practice Management Experience Units: one unit for each quarter year full-time equivalent (up to 8 total units).
- Continuing Education Units: One unit for each accepted 6 hours of instruction (no limit on the number of units). If you do not have enough CE units you may fulfill requirements for the designation by completing items 3-5.
- Professional Contributions: One unit for each hour taught or each full page published (up to 2 total units).
- Awards and Professional Designation (up to 2 total units).
- Association Membership (up to 2 total units).
- Current member of the American Academy of Medical Management.
Note: Executive Practice Management is a term broadly used for non-clinical activities. It is primarily the “business side of medicine”, and the term is not defined to include true clinical areas. However, there are certainly clinically oriented practice management areas, such as quality assurance, which are applicable to the EFPM.
