Q1 Practice Makeover Is Now Open! | LACMA's Medical Practice Makeover Initiative is more than a slogan. It’s a promise to small, independent medical practices that meet certain criteria, that help is on the way. In 2022, a total of 20 practices received $5,000 grants along with robust resources, PPE supplies and a practice assessment. The success of the program in its first year demonstrated the need to extend the Medical Practice Initiative into 2023.
For 2023, a total of $50,000 will be awarded to practices, with 3 winners announced each quarter - 2 new awardees and 1 returning awardee. New awardees will receive $5,000 and past winners who re-apply and win will receive $2,500. The deadline for Quarter 1 is March 3, 2023.

Heal Your Career & Avoid Burnout at the Healthcare Burnout Symposium
Two weeks to go until the historic burnout symposium! The speaker lineup includes HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra and new California Surgeon General Dr. Diana Ramos. There will be over 40 breakout session speakers covering topics essential to physician wellness. Our members have shared that burnout, along with reimbursement, staffing, and access to care are top issues and all will be covered over the two days. We have 140+ registrations but only 42 from the Los Angeles area. CMEs are offered and as a LACMA member, we’ve negotiated $400 off your registration.
In addition, any group of 3 or more that register together gets an additional 15% off the registration costs, so the savings are significant.
As part of the registration, you will also be able to have on-demand access to all sessions for up to six months – and earn CMEs for any sessions viewed online as well.
