Commitment to Education & Training

The PPOC places a strong emphasis on providing valuable ongoing learning and training for our member physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, administrative staff, and other medical professionals. Educational programs are developed in collaboration with specialists from Boston Children’s Hospital, and partners from community-based organizations and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, among other entities.

PPOC Learning Communities are a core component of the PPOC's education and training efforts. Each Learning Community focuses on one medical topic, and involves seminars and classes held over a six- to 12-month period. Learning Communities provide value, resources and relevant clinical assistance to practices in a related community setting of their peers.
