HISTORY

The Baton Rouge Chapter began in 1978. A cadre of four medical practice managers saw the need to establish an association for professionals in medical practice management. Their purpose was to create a forum where practice managers could gather to further their knowledge and professionalism in the field. From that humble beginning, our present day organization now has over 75 active members.

The need for professionalism and structure became apparent as membership increased and the field grew in complexity. A formal constitution and bylaws were written in 1990. On October 1, 1991, by decree of the Secretary of State, the Baton Rouge Management Association was officially incorporated in the State of Louisiana.
