The ACG Board of Governors is one of the most unique aspects of the American College of Gastroenterology. Governors are ACG Fellows that are elected from the membership of a particular state or region. There are currently 77 Governors across seven different regions in the U.S. and abroad. The Board of Governors acts as a two-way conduit between College leadership and the membership at-large. This helps the College make certain it is meeting the evolving needs of the membership.
The most recent issue of ACG Magazine also includes helpful articles on practice management, and the latest installments to the growing catalog of useful articles on ACG’s Practice Management Toolbox. Including:
- “Hiring and Keeping the Best Staff: Human Resource Management and Staff Development” by David L. Limauro, MD FACG and Louis J. Wilson, MD FACG
- “Getting to Yes: Five Steps to Negotiating Alternative Payment Model Arrangements” by Ann M. Bittinger, JD
Accessible, relevant, and practical projects to improve your practice.
Gastroenterologists in private practice find themselves working in a time of unprecedented transformation. Pressures are high as they make important management decisions that profoundly affect their business future, their private lives, and their ability to provide care to patients. The ACG Practice Management Committee has a mission to bring practicing colleagues together to explore solutions to overcome management challenges, to improve operations, enhance productivity, and support physician leadership. It was in this spirit that the Practice Management Toolbox was created.
