Jay Salliotte

Jay Salliotte

Conference Committee Chair

Jay Salliotte (pronounced like Sally-yacht) comes to rheumatology practice management via a road less traveled. Before moving toward a career in medical administration, Jay worked as a professional fundraiser for non-profit organizations including hospice, higher education, and social services. Before that, he worked in the information technology profession and has the Y2K battle scars to prove it. Despite this unorthodox path, Jay relies heavily on his past experiences in organizational administration, process improvement, strategic planning, accounting, and human resources to manage the medical practice he co-owns with his wife Dr. Monika Mohan. Jay continues to get more involved with rheumatology initiatives around the country and is determined to give back to organizations like NORM which have given so much professional help to him. He is also a member of a few pharma-sponsored practice management speakers bureaus. Jay has served on many non-profit boards & committees in both the professional and community realms. He is no stranger to volunteer boards and understands the great responsibility elected leaders accept…to be good stewards of the organization. Jay has a master’s degree in Business Administration from the Broad Graduate School of Management at Michigan State University and a bachelor’s degree in Organization Studies from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He lives in Okemos, Michigan with his wife and daughter, Maya. Jay enjoys: traveling with his family, watching college sports, and trying new culinary experiences.

  • As a speaker at the first ad hoc meeting of rheumatology practice managers gathered in a single small room at its infancy a decade ago, I’m amazed to see how NORM has blossomed into a high energy organization of depth and professional meetings with parallel break-out symposia between plenary sessions. NORM has truly come of age. This is where the “business” of rheumatology gets learned. The ”guildmanship” for rheumatology practice management is now strong.- Paul H. Caldron, DO, FACP, FACR, MBA, Arizona Arthritis and Rheumatology Associates
  • In a time of demanding changes in the management of medical practices in the US, NORM has been a lifesaver to the community of Rheumatology practices.  NORM has allowed our practice to stay ahead of the many demands of CMS and others payors and has ensured that our practice remains cognizant of new issues that arise in HIPPA compliance, human resources and medical billing to name a few. Sending our Practice Manager to NORM's conferences has been cost-effective and beneficial to our practice because she returns to our office with an abundance of information that otherwise would have taken months to compile. Every Rheumatology practice that wishes to stay on top of emerging issues in practice management should consider sending a member of their staff to NORM's conference.- Michael S. Rosen M.D., Chester County Rheumatology PC
  • Thanks to all those wonderful people in the NORM Network who respond to emails, offering their advice, experience, time, and support ... I haven't even been a member a full year yet and I am amazed at the dedication of everyone who responds to helping via emails and the NORM Organization itself! I have barely had a chance to explore the resources and I have yet to really dive into requests for help still I am silently learning so much and do occasionally offer what I can! Thank you all!- Cheryl Piambino, Kenneth E. Bresky, DO
