Annual Meeting

The 2010 OSMA Annual Meeting, scheduled for April 9-11 at the Hilton Columbus at Easton, provides members an opportunity to learn more about priority issues of the OSMA and actively participate in policy discussions of the organization. The House of Delegates which convenes as part of the OSMA Annual Meeting considers resolutions that establish guiding policies for the organization.

The 2010 House of Delegates will review 25 resolutions that have been submitted for consideration. The resolutions can be found under the Handbook (2010) title on the House of Delegates web page (see below to access that information).  The first 10 resolutions are listed under Resolutions Committee No.1, with the remainder listed under Resolutions Committee No. 2.

Elections for OSMA physician leadership are conducted during the House of Delegates. This includes election of association officers, OSMA Councilors and members of the Ohio delegation to the American Medical Association.

On Friday, April 9, the popular OSMA Practice Management Symposium will highlight the changing health care environment brought on by the current national reform movement. With Congressional action anticipated by the symposium’s date, the forum will focus on how you and your practice can deal with a newly framed health care system and take advantage of potential opportunities. Also during the symposium, the Ohio Organized Medical Staff Section (OMSS) will offer a break-out session on a topic that is germane to the physician practicing in a medical staff environment.

A block of sleeping rooms at a conference rate is available at the Hilton Columbus at Easton until March 17, 2010.  Attendees are responsible for making their own individual hotel arrangements.  Reservations can be made on-line at www.hilton.com (Group Code: OSM) or by telephone or fax.
