“I have professionally benefited from OSMA membership through mentorship, networking, discounts on loan refinancing and access to products and services that improve my practice's performance and profitability.”

A Message from OSMA's President:

 

Welcome to the largest physician-led organization in Ohio! 
I look forward to engaging with OSMA members to learn what OSMA membership means and how the association can better support medical practices. Resident and young physicians are also a priority of mine.

- Eric
