Ohio ACEP Thanks the Contributors to the 7th Edition of Dr. Rivers' Written Board Review

When we took over production of the Dr. Carol Rivers’ line of board review materials, we knew we had a responsibility to live up to the reputation Dr. Rivers established during her exceptional career. It was that responsibility that drove production of the new 7th edition Dr. Carol Rivers’ Written Board Review, and we’re so grateful for all the outstanding contributors who helped make the new edition a product worthy of its namesake.

Thank you all!
