Division 13: Ohio Valley

Happy Holidays from ACFAS Division 13! Thanks to all who attended the ACFAS Forefoot Seminar in Louisville in September. It was a great success and we had a lot of participation from all the attendees. 

Here are a few updates from the Division:
• Resident applications for Annual Scientific Conference (ASC) grants are due Dec. 31. Preference is given to residents who are manuscript or poster presenters and who do not receive CME funding from their residency program. Please email Dr. Martha Anderson, Division 13 President, for additional information. 
• We are still planning to implement an e-journal club for the division, but are having trouble finding a suitable electronic format that is not Apple or PC specific…we still hope to start this soon as we have only a couple of options left to explore.
• We will be purchasing a set of ACFAS surgical videos for the ACFAS Student Club at Kent State.
• We are also sponsoring a $1,000 scholarship to the ASC in Las Vegas (in addition to the Merz grants for each school) for one student member from the ACFAS Student Club at Kent State. The 2013 winner is Jessica Preston, second-year student. Congratulations, Jessica!

Upcoming meetings within the Division:
• NWOAPM Scientific Seminar at Kalahari Resort  in Sandusky, Ohio—January 17-19
