MyPAMED: Meet Your Fellow PAMED Members

What makes PAMED special are its members:

  • You’re urban, suburban, and rural.
  • You’re employed by health systems both large and small, and you’re also practice owners.
  • You’re students, educators, administrators, and leaders.

PAMED asked members “What is YourPAMED?” in order to get to the heart of what membership means. It turns out that every person’s PAMED experience is unique. You find value in leadership training, reimbursement assistance, and tools for becoming a better advocate for patients.
