President's Message
When the system works: victories for Ohio’s emergency docs
One of the core missions of Ohio ACEP is its tireless advocacy for emergency physicians and their patients. Yes, we have wonderful educational offerings. Our Board Review course is the Granddaddy of them all and is regarded by many as “the best.†And yes, we have fantastic leadership training. We pride ourselves on preparing new generations of physicians to accept the mantle of the physician leaders who came before them. And then there’s advocacy, a pillar of our Chapter since its inception.
But there are a couple problems that come with advocacy. For one, so much goes on behind closed doors, and it may be difficult for the emergency medicine community to appreciate what is done. Sometimes the most important victories in advocacy are victories because they never see the light of day. [Read More]
