Welcome

2025 Essentials & Fundamentals


ATTENTION: 2025 Essentials & Fundamentals will have a 100-person registration limit. This is an in-person only event and will not be recorded.


The American College of Physician Advisors (ACPA) will once again host Essentials & Fundamentals (E&F) on April 7, 2025, in Chicago, Illinois. This one-day, in person event is specifically designed to cover the basics of utilization management, care management, and clinical documentation integrity.  It has proven to be an excellent opportunity for new physician advisors, clinicians considering transition into this critical and dynamic administrative career, or those looking to brush-up or expand their knowledge base. Completion of Essentials & Fundamentals is also a pathway for eligibility to take the ACPA certification exam to become American College of Physician Advisors Certified (APCA-C). 

All E&F speakers are content experts and thought leaders within each respective topic with a cumulative experience of over 50 years in active physician advisor practice. There is no remote nor on-demand option for this educational opportunity. The in-person only venue allows ample opportunity for your specific questions to be answered during the sessions and during the dedicated E&F lunch including the presenters. This leads to greater understanding and ability to apply the principles discussed in your specific organizations. Participation will be limited to just 100 attendees to maintain a smaller, more personal, and interactive educational setting.

Don't miss this opportunity to get clinical documentation integrity, utilization management, and care management education in one day in an in-person format for only $695.

PLEASE NOTE: Essentials & Fundamentals takes place on the first day of the 2025 National Physician Advisor Conference (NPAC). Registering for both events provides a discount on each. Content for the first day of NPAC will be available on-demand for those unable to participate in person while attending E&F.
