MAPMG researchers and staff support innovative ideas, ensuring quality care, educational programming, and advancing best practices through research.

The starting annual salary for this position is $387,500 which considers an applicant’s skills and qualifications, certain degrees and certifications, training, market data, and other relevant factors. In addition to the salary range above, MAPMG offers rich benefits that add substantial value to the total compensation package.
