Leadership & Advocacy Conference
Emergency physicians from around the country descended on Washington, DC, May 18 - 21, for ACEP’s Leadership & Advocacy Conference. Among the many Ohio ACEPers to make the journey were our Leadership Development Academy (LDA) members. Here’s what a couple Academy members had to say about their experience at the acclaimed annual conference!

  The LAC in DC was the culmination of the LDA, and definitely was a way to go out with a bang. We had the privilege to meet many people from both ACEP and Congress. I learned a lot about the process of getting bills passed and how important it is to have people advocating for Emergency Medicine in the government to help our patients and our specialty as a whole. A great experience all around.
– Andrea Kreiger, MD
