The purpose and intent of the PMSIG is to serve and support current and prospective future practice owners in achieving their goals and thriving. This will be accomplished by:

• Identifying the inherent challenges and difficulties New Jersey private practices face in starting and scaling, including the steep learning curve of a very complex ever-changing healthcare system, stagnating and declining reimbursement rates, staffing shortage due to professional attrition, and rapidly increasing overhead costs.
  
  
• Discussing as a group, crowd-sourced both internal and external solutions that practice owners and their staff can implement to enhance their ability to serve their community without compromise and ensure a successful future professionally and financially.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Provide an area of support and programming for practice owners regarding topics specific to managing and growing a practice. Some examples include: ○ Financial wellness for practices ○ Effective hiring and staffing strategies ○ Navigating regulatory challenges ○ Preventing practice burnout
  
• Plan social opportunities for involvement and networking purposes for practice owners.
  
• Foster leadership, advocacy, volunteer service, and involvement within the practice management community.
• Educate practice owners about the APTANJ and APTA national, and encourage involvement within both organizations.
• Create and empower cycles of leadership and encourage practice owners to prepare for leadership roles within APTA, both locally and nationally, as well as within the overall physical therapy community.
• Create opportunities for mentorship.
