LACMA has announced the 2026 Business of Medicine Conference, taking place on May 16, 2026, alongside the launch of its new Business of Medicine (BOM) Platform, a year-round resource designed to support physicians with the operational, financial, and leadership realities of practicing in Los Angeles County.
Developed in direct response to member input, the conference and platform represent a significant expansion of LACMA’s commitment to delivering practical, physician-centered solutions. Together, they move beyond one-time programming to create an ongoing support ecosystem tailored to the real-world challenges physicians face every day.
Why the BOM Matters Now, More than Ever
Physicians across Los Angeles County are navigating unprecedented complexity. Financial pressure, workforce instability, regulatory shifts, evolving care models, and rapid technological change are reshaping the practice of medicine, often without clear guidance or trusted support.
The Business of Medicine initiative was designed to meet this moment. It recognizes that strong clinical care depends on sustainable, well-managed practices and informed physician leadership. By focusing on the business realities of medicine, LACMA is providing physicians with tools and insights that directly support professional longevity, stability, and decision-making.
The 2026 Business of Medicine Conference
May 16, 2026 | Westin Pasadena
The 2026 Business of Medicine Conference is a one-day, high-impact convening designed for physicians across all specialties, career stages, and modes of practice, including private practice, employed, academic, and group settings.
Free for LACMA member physicians and returning by popular demand, the conference emphasizes practical, immediately applicable solutions rather than abstract theory. Sessions will address topics such as:
Revenue integrity, contracts, and compensation
Practice sustainability across changing payment and care models
Legal, compliance, and risk considerations
Workforce strategy, staffing, and leadership challenges
Technology and operational modernization
Advocacy and policy issues impacting physicians locally
Equally important, the conference creates space for meaningful peer connection, recognizing the value of shared experience and collective problem-solving within the physician community.
Introducing the Business of Medicine Platform
The Business of Medicine Platform extends the value of the conference throughout the year. It serves as a centralized hub where physicians can access curated resources, trusted expertise, and peer networks aligned with the realities of practicing medicine in Los Angeles County.
The Business of Medicine Toolkit offers practical, on-demand resources focused on operational, financial, and career challenges. Designed to evolve continuously, the toolkit reflects emerging issues and member-driven priorities.
The LACMA Referral Network (LRN) is a self-submitted, publicly accessible directory that allows LACMA members and organizations to promote their practice, service, or product while connecting with the broader LACMA community. While only LACMA members may submit listings, the directory is open to the public, making it a powerful platform to increase visibility, expand referral opportunities, and build strategic partnerships across Los Angeles County.
Whether members are looking to grow their referral base, showcase specialized expertise, or offer solutions to fellow healthcare professionals, the LRN provides a centralized way to connect and highlight value within the local medical community.
Ongoing Education and Engagement
The platform will continue to expand with webinars, expert conversations, curated content, and peer discussions, reinforcing LACMA’s role as a trusted partner throughout a physician’s professional journey.
Built by LACMA, Shaped by Members
Both the Business of Medicine Platform and the 2026 Conference were developed in direct response to member feedback and requests. This initiative reflects LACMA’s ongoing commitment to listening to physicians and delivering solutions that are practical, relevant, and grounded in real-world experience.
By investing in the business side of medicine, LACMA is strengthening not only individual practices, but the physician community as a whole.
