🚨 DEADLINE APPROACHING! - Call for Speakers: 2026 Ohio EM Residents’ Assembly 🚨
Planning is officially underway, and we want you to be part of it! The 2026 Ohio Emergency Medicine Residents’ Assembly will once again take place alongside the Midwest Medical Student Symposium.
The Event Planning Task Force is now accepting proposals for 15–20-minute presentations on Clinical topics and life after residency; think interviewing, choosing the right practice setting, risk management, AI, financial planning, wellness, and more.
This annual event brings together EM residents from across Ohio to learn, network, meet physician recruiters, and explore career opportunities. Last year, we welcomed 450+ attendees representing nearly every Ohio EM residency program.
Have an idea that would benefit EM residents? We’d love to hear it!

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.

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.

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.
