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.  We are pleased to provide a list of members with their areas of clinical and/or academic interest who are willing to travel to deliver grand rounds or other lectures to audiences across Ohio.  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.
