Welcome to the Missouri Association Medical Staff Services (MoAMSS). MoAMSS is a state chapter of the National Association of Medical Staff Services, a national professional organization for credentialing and medical staff services professionals. MoAMSS was established in 1990 and currently has over 125 members representing hospitals, managed care, credentials verification organizations, physician/hospital organizations and other healthcare entities.

The objectives of MoAMSS are to provide the opportunity for continuing education and to promote the improvement of professional knowledge and skill by uniting persons who are engaged in medical and/or health care provider staff activities throughout the state. Participation in MoAMSS provides a unique opportunity to learn and grow as a credentialing professional. MoAMSS provides various networking and educational opportunities several times each year. MoAMSS is also a personal membership group of the Missouri Hospital Association (MHA). For additional information about MoAMSS, please feel free to contact a member of its 2007 leadership council.

The Kansas State and Kansas City Chapter separated to make the Kansas organization stronger and provide the State of Missouri an opportunity to organize. Dues between these two groups were divided equally.
