Clinic Managers

Certification or Licensing

Clinic managers become certified to improve their knowledge and skills and keep up to date on industry developments. They may receive the certified medical manager credential fromthe Professional Association of Health Care Office Management (https://my.pahcom.com/cmm). Other associations that offer certification programs include the American Health Information Management Association (https://www.ahima.org/certification-careers/certifications-overview) and the American College of Health Care Administrators (https://www.achca.org/certification).

Those who work for clinics in nursing homes are required by states to be state-approved by passing a national licensing exam. Requirements vary by state.
