About the Emerging Leaders Group

The Plan
The new Emerging Leader cohort will meet with a mentor between July – December to discuss practice management and leadership skills. The group will meet a minimum of 4 times with one in-person meeting.

Who are the Emerging Leaders?
NCMGMA’s Emerging Leaders are members of the organization who are newer to the healthcare industry and are interested in developing leadership and management skills for the practice administrator. Emerging Leaders are defined as recent graduates, individuals who are in the early stages within their careers or recently transitioned into leadership roles.

Not an Emerging Leader?
If you are not an Emerging Leader, we still need your help in getting this initiative up and running. Help create a culture of amazing healthcare leaders by encouraging those in your practice who may be a good fit to join and sign up today!
