To achieve fellowship, Fisher first earned the certified medical practice executive (CMPE) designation by completing a minimum of 50 continuing education credit hours and passing rigorous examinations that assess knowledge of the broad scope of medical practice management, as outlined in the Body of Knowledge for Medical Practice Management. To earn fellowship, Fisher submitted a professional paper, Strategic Business Plan Proposal to Provide Sports Medicine Services to Rural Secondary Schools, documenting the objectives and results of an investigation into a health-care management topic.
Today, MGMA membership is comprised of more than 6,600 individuals who have attained CMPE or ACMPE fellow status or who seek certification.
A Barboursville native, Fisher has served as department administrator of Marshall Orthopaedics since joining Marshall Health in 2012.
