Well the ACEP Scientific Assembly is coming up in October. You had better hurry and register now, Seattle is a fun city and everyone wants to be there, especially after the New Orleans convention last year. It is a chance to recharge your emergency medicine batteries, see old and new friends and have a great time.  It is a time to elect new board members. This year I think Mike Gerardi from New Jersey is the right man for that job. He brings an energy for our specialty that is hard to find. 

It is also a time to think about making a donation to the Emergency Medicine Foundation.  This is a nonprofit group founded by emergency physician to raise money and garnish grants for research solely in our specialty. 

So see you in October.
