ATTENDEE
CONFERENCE
GUIDE
Finding Your Way
In 2003 a few practice managers seeking to create successful dermatology practices
founded the Dermatology Managers Association of Georgia (DMA/GA).
The purpose of DMA remains to promote the development of dermatology practice
managers through continuing education, progressive business practices and professional
networking avenues. We expanded our audience to include aesthetic practices in 2014 and
shortly thereafter added presentations for non-managerial office staff.
Each year DMA promotes their annual Conference offering professional development
opportunities for all staff members of Dermatology and Aesthetic practices throughout the
country. Three concurrent educational pathways are offered during the one-and-a-half day
conference.
• for Managers, Administrators, Providers and Key Personnel
• for Laser Practitioners, Aestheticians and Cosmetic Care Coordinators
• for Front and Back Office, Insurance and Billing Staff Members
Continuing educational units are available for most programs through AAPC. CEUs and
certificates for laser practitioners and aestheticians are also offered.
As DMA has grown, many attendees from out of state are attracted to the annual
meetings; therefore, we now identify the organization as Dermatology Managers Association
(DMA). We are a non-profit 501(c)(3)group. The meetings are planned around the requests
and needs of members and attendees and supported by our many generous sponsors.
