The medical office manager is an important position in the medical office. The medical office manager is responsible for the day-to-day business operations and works very closely with patients, physicians, vendors and regulators. Notwithstanding the size, a medical practice is simply not able to run efficiently without a highly trained and effective medical office manager.

Usually the job description is very broad and encompassing, but normally includes; Patient Scheduling, Insurance Billing, Staff Supervision, Vendor Relations, Manage Care Issues, Computer Operations and other General Office functions.
Medical office managers come from diverse education backgrounds; some have formal management education, while others are trained on the job.

However many medical practices complain that, even candidates with formal management education, are ill prepared to handle the unique affairs of the medical practice. Further medical practices simply just do not have the resources and time to train and nurture effective practice managers. In addition whenever there is staff turnover medical practices have a difficult time deciphering the competency level of new hires.
