Practice Management Institute Promotes Michael Moore to Vice President of Business Development

SAN ANTONIO - Feb. 19, 2014 - PRLog -- "In his 17 years with us, Michael’s has created countless growth opportunities that have helped PMI become a leading provider of continuing education across the country,” said PMI’s owner, Douglas O’Dell. "His vision for connecting people and organizations has helped further grow PMI to reach even more people.”

Moore was originally hired to develop the East coast where he quickly developed a pool of engaged clientele. He spearheaded an exam proctor program for local markets, created a national associate instructor program, and was instrumental in bringing on several of the nation’s leading medical societies.

He has also been responsible for spearheading a number of important initiatives such as Network PMI developed so that PMI-certified professionals could gather locally, gain access to regular education, ongoing support, and networking opportunities.

PMI got its start 30 years ago, based out of the trunk of Douglas W. O’Dell’s car. As a young man with an entrepreneurial instinct, he and his father, Jim O’Dell, then CEO of Humana Hospital in San Antonio, formed Assistex, a training institute designed to help physicians manage their continuing medical education requirements.

In 1983, O’Dell Jr. brought on his first client, St. Joseph’s hospital in Atlanta. Within two years, two employees and a handful of contract trainers, Assistex became Practice Management Institute®. In 1989 PMI relocated from Atlanta to San Antonio, and grew to serve about 50 clients.

Today, PMI is a leading source for coding, billing, compliance and office management. Each year more than 50,000 medical office professionals across the country look to PMI to help them run more productive, profitable and compliant medical offices. Continuing education classes and certification training are hosted in leading hospitals, medical societies and colleges across the U.S. for more than 30 years. Webinars, online training and self-paced learning formats are also available. For more information, visit pmiMD.com.
