The Ohio ACEP Emergency Medicine Assembly was held on June 3 & 4 2013 in Columbus, Ohio. Medical students, residents, attendings, academics, administrators and clinicians alike benefited from a program that included both career and education topics as well as time to spend networking with colleagues and exhibitors. The event gave first-timers an introduction to the Advocacy, Education and Leadership tenants of Ohio ACEP.
The Welcome Reception and EMRA/Ohio ACEP Night at the Ballpark on June 3 were a home-run hit!
