Dr. Michael Weinstock, author of the Bouncebacks! series, led an exclusive resident Zoom session packed with real-world, case-based learning. Throughout the discussion, he shared memorable insights that resonated with everyone:
▪️ “Good history is free. Poor history is expensive.”
▪️ “Physicians are the historians, not the patients.”
▪️ “The MDM is your closing argument — your time to answer why.”
▪️ “Ensure the HPI is truly the history of present illness.”
Grateful to Dr. Weinstock for an energizing and educational session.

Interested in serving in an Ohio ACEP leadership role?
We have two great opportunities to do so and we're currently accepting applications for both.
Board of Director Elections
Board members will be elected by ballot by majority vote of the Chapter membership at the Chapter's 2026 Annual Meeting, taking place on May 13.
✔️ Three (3) Board Members will be elected by the membership to serve a three-year term.
✔️ Current Board members with expiring terms are eligible for re-nomination and re-election if they have not already served two consecutive elected terms.
✔️ Their terms of office will begin at the close of the Annual Meeting at which they are elected.
Councillor Elections
We are seeking members interested in representing the Ohio Chapter on ACEP Council. ACEP Council is the deliberative and representative body that meets once a year for two days prior to the College’s annual Scientific Assembly (Council is planned to be held in Chicago, IL on October 3 & 4, 2026). The Council votes on resolutions, elects members to the National ACEP Board of Directors, and ensures grassroots involvement in the democratic decision-making process.
✔️ Councillors will be elected by the membership to serve a 2-year term.
✔️ Current Councillors with expiring terms are eligible for re-nomination and re-election.
Wishing you a season of togetherness and a Christmas filled with love.
Merry Christmas!

The Ohio Chapter, American College of Emergency Physicians is dedicated to advancing excellence in emergency care and advocating for emergency physicians, their patients and the health of the community.
Ohio Chapter ACEP started as a small group of doctors who envisioned an organization that would help them ensure the best possible emergency care for their patients. Since then, emergency medicine has become recognized as a vital and respected part of our health-care system, and Ohio ACEP has consistently been at the forefront of fighting for that recognition.
Ohio ACEP is now active in legislative and judicial matters, and its influence allows the organization to hold the line against bad policy that would weaken emergency care in Ohio. The Chapter’s perspective is sought by candidates and elected officials alike, and many of its members are state and national leaders in their field. Physicians from around the world attend Ohio ACEP’s acclaimed educational offerings.
In the nearly five decades since its charter, Ohio ACEP has gone from a small band of physicians to nearly 1,600 attendings, residents, and medical students across the state. As members of the Chapter look back on a half-century of service to the state’s emergency physicians, Ohio ACEP stands ready to tackle the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
