The
Board of Directors of AMGO is pleased to offer a scholarship opportunity for
one current member to attend an upcoming educational conference.
This program provides funding for a current member (in good standing) to attend a conference or educational session relating to AMGO's core business of healthcare administration and/or management. Any conference or program is eligible except the Annual AMGO Meeting, APA or the national MGMA meetings. The scholarship reimburses up to $1,500 to cover registration, travel and lodging.
In return, the recipient must attend the Annual AMGO Meeting and share information obtained from the conference or program by making a presentation to the membership in the form of a breakout session. The recipient must also write an article for the newsletter.
