Education

From its inception, AAPM's prime purpose has been the education of those involved in healthcare practice management. Practices today often have a multi-million dollar turnover and have responsibilities that go with that figure.

Today's Practice Manager is often the Chief Executive Officer; they have responsibility for the financial management, human resources, planning and marketing as well as risk management.

They are progressive and determined to remain at the forefront of technology, systems and processes for the running of efficient and high-quality healthcare practices.

To meet the changing needs of healthcare management and to recognise those who must maintain the industry standards, AAPM has established its own Professional Development Program. This includes the AAPM Fellowship Program.

What is the AAPM Fellowship?

It promotes excellence and professionalism in practice management.
It recognises those individuals who have met required levels of knowledge, skill and abilities.
It provides formal recognition of those individuals who meet the required standards.
It assists employers in identifying individuals who meet nationally recognised standards.
It can be combined with UNE Partnerships' qualifications that will give entry into programs at the University of New England.

The AAPM Fellowship Program has been developed by AAPM in conjunction with the UNE Partnerships, the education and training company of the University of New England.

It is one part of the AAPM Professional Development Program and it is essential for AAPM members who desire to be recognised as industry leaders and who want to grow their career.

Take a tour through our Education Centre to find out how you can benefit from becoming an AAPM Fellow.
