President's Message
I want to wish a "Happy New Year" to all of those at our 21 residency programs in Ohio. While June is always a time to look back on the academic year with graduation, July brings new interns eager to learn and prove themselves and new roles and expectations for junior and senior residents. I always enjoy pointing out to new second year residents how far they have come in only the past twelve months as the new interns look to them for help in the department and on the floors.

 Past President Heads for NOLA, Bids Farewell to Ohio
By Michael Smith, MD, MBA, FACEP
After being born and raised in Ohio and spending 12 years of my career in northeast Ohio, our family is relocating to New Orleans, Louisiana. Having spent the better part of eight years on the board of Ohio ACEP, I cannot begin to expound on the emergency physician leaders and advocates that we have in this state, along with the significant educational enterprise. Ohio ACEP, its board of directors, staff, and Laura, will be a big reason to miss and fondly remember Ohio.
Best wishes,
Mike Smith, MD, MBA, FACEP
Past President, Ohio ACEP
Ohio ACEP thanks Dr. Smith for his dedicated service to Ohio’s emergency physicians. Dr. Smith, we will miss you, and we wish you the best of luck in New Orleans!
