The Power of YOU:
Crowdsourcing Member Ideas & A Chance to Win
We are making great progress with our

ohioacc@gmail.com with 1-3 ideas that will allow Ohio-ACC to achieve this goal. As a token of thanks, we will offer three complimentary annual meeting registrations to the three members who propose the best ideas! Put your best foot forward.

Do You Have A Lecture That You'd Like to Present?
Michael D. Faulx, MD, FACC
|
|
The Ohio-ACC is committed to promoting the clinical and academic growth of its members across the state and facilitating interaction between members and their hospital systems and practices. One option that may accomplish both objectives would be to have a
list of members with their areas of clinical and/or academic interest who would be willing to travel to deliver grand rounds or other lectures to audiences across Ohio. With this repository available on
http://www.ohioacc.org, our hope is to provide members with the means to educate and be educated while getting to know their Ohio-ACC colleagues. We hope that this initiative will provide fertile ground for individual academic growth as well as the growth of collaboration between members.
