Dr. Michael Smith is currently an attending physician at MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland and is an Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. Deeply involved in teaching emergency medicine residents and medical students, Dr. Smith is also a core residency faculty member and associate director of medical student education at MetroHealth.

At the national level, Dr. Smith has served ACEP on a variety of committees, including Council Steering Committee, Council Reference Committee, and Academic Affairs Committee, on which he serves as Chair of both the Medico-Legal and Medical Student Awards Subcommittees.

Dr. Smith has served on the Ohio ACEP Board of Directors and as a Councillor representing Ohio ACEP since 2008 and is a graduate of the Chapter’s first Leadership Development Academy. He has since served the Chapter as Secretary and as President. Dr. Smith also sits on Ohio ACEP’s Medical Education Advisory Committee.

Dr. Smith is running for reelection to the Ohio ACEP Board because he wants to continue to build upon the Chapter’s educational products and courses, advocacy for emergency department patients and the physicians who treat them, and build upon Ohio ACEP’s strong foundation for mentoring rising physician leaders.
