title: Backbone, benchmark blueprint: the body of knowledge at work.
abstract: What does it take to be an effective medical practice executive? What are the core competencies, requirements and information essential for proficiency in medical practice management today? The answers are as close as the Guide to the Body of Knowledge for Medical Practice Management. Published by the American College of Medical Practice Executives (ACMPE) in the closing weeks of 2001, the comprehensive Body of Knowledge is available online (www.mgma.com/acmpe/bokguide.cfm) at no charge. The value, as early adopters share, is proving both structural and strategic.
