The South Carolina Medical Group Management Association (SCMGMA) is the healthcare managers’ organization of South Carolina exclusively focused on providing educational, networking, and leadership building opportunities for those in healthcare management. The vision of SCMGMA is to provide successful communication in healthcare through management and academics. SCMGMA emerged in January 2004 as the result of a merger of two already successful medical associations – the South Carolina Medical Management Association and the South Carolina Medical Group Management Association. The union of these two groups created a dynamic statewide professional association for managers and administrators in healthcare professions.
Nearly 1000 members strong and 50 corporate members, the SCMGMA proudly positions itself as the largest state affiliate under the national Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) in the Southeast and ranks fourth in the nation. Its purpose is simple…to provide educational, networking, and leadership building opportunities for those in medical practice management. SCMGMA also provides a level of membership for professionals who provide products or services to the medical community, and most recently, has added a student membership category.
