2016 Ohio EM Residents' Assembly Draws Record Attendance
On August 11, 2016 nearly 200 residents, medical students, and leaders from Ohio ACEP, National ACEP, and EMRA gathered for the Ohio Emergency Medicine Residents’ Assembly in Columbus. 16 of Ohio’s 19 emergency medicine residency programs were in attendance for Ohio ACEP’s signature event supporting EM residents.
After Ohio ACEP President, Dr. Michael McCrea welcomed attendees, Eileen Baker, MD, FACEP led the day’s first session, “Life After Residency: Practice Options Panel”. Because many new EM attendings change positions within the first two years of their career, the panel explored the pros and cons of different EM work environments to help residents decide which environment might best suit their personal and professional goals. Residents gained important insights from:
Dr. Shaza Aouthmany – Locum Tenens
Dr. Dan Breece – Hospital Employee
Dr. William Cole – National Organization
Dr. Chris Goliver – Small Democratic Group
Dr. Nicholas Kman – Academic at a Teaching Hospital
Dr. Rubeal Mann – Large Democratic Group
Dr. Kevin Klauer—Bouncebacks! co-author, National EM leader, and risk management guru—enlightened residents with an important, but sometimes overlooked aspect of landing that first job out of residency: negotiating employment contracts!
At the Residents’ Assembly Luncheon, residents elected their Resident Representative to the Ohio ACEP Board of Directors. There were four candidates for the position—Drs. Aurelia Cheng, Eric Frederickson, Nikhil Mohan, and Onyeka Otugo. Congratulations to Dr. Onyeka Otugo, who was elected Resident Representative by her fellow residents!
In the afternoon, FOAMed champion, EM:RAP host, and EM podcaster extraordinaire, Dr. Anand “Swami” Swaminathan gave two great presentations on ACLS and Urban Legends in Emergency Medicine and was then joined by Dr. Michael Weinstock for a lively Q&A session.
EMRA President, Dr. Ricky Dhawiwal challenged attendees to compete in the always-exciting EMRA Quiz Show! Twelve teams faced off to contend for the 2016 trophy:
- Cleveland Clinic - Akron General Medical Center
- Case Western Reserve University at MetroHealth
- Doctors Hospital - Ohio Health EM Residency
- Mercy Health - St. Joseph Warren Hospital
- Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center
- Northeast Ohio Osteopathic EM Consortium
- The Ohio State University
- St. Elizabeth Boardman
- St. John Medical Center
- Summa Health - Akron City Hospital
- University of Toledo Medical Center
- Wright State University Hospital
After five epic rounds of white-knuckle trivia, St. Elizabeth Boardman finished in third place, Wright State University emerged as the runner-up, and the Quiz Show 2016 grand champion—by just one point!—was The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Congratulations, Buckeyes!
