General Description |
Group Practice Managers (GPMs) work within medical practices or groups to develop business strategies, manage budgets, and oversee day-to-day operations (scheduling, billing, collections, etc.). They ensure that the business needs of the practice are met and actively work to recruit new patients. These professionals are in charge of making sure the practice is running smoothly and successfully while also working to expand the business. Since healthcare facilities operate during expanded hours, GPMs may work long hours or be on call regularly.
