Membership Benefits

The core purpose of the WMGMA is to advance group practice management in order to improve the delivery of health care in Wisconsin.  We do this by focusing on the areas of concern to administrators and managers: professional development, networking, and support. 

We also monitor legislation and regulation to help you stay “ahead of the curve” in the ever-changing healthcare environment, and we maintain liaisons with payers, consumers, employers, and vendors in order to enhance group practice.

We offer three categories of membership: Regular, Affiliate and Associate.

WMGMA wants to be your source for the information you need to keep your business operations running smoothly. Here are some of the benefits of membership for Regular and Associate members:

• PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT/CONTINUING EDUCATION: WMGMA hosts an annual conference each September. We also offer regional events focused on a specific topic. Our conferences provide a forum for networking with other managers in Wisconsin, as well as an opportunity to hear industry experts discuss the latest trends or career development ideas to take back and put immediately to use in your organization.
• SALARY SURVEY:  WMGMA members have the opportunity to participate in the annual non-physician compensation survey.  Participants receive the results at no charge.
