WAEPS - Monthly Scientific Meetings

Join your colleagues for an accredited monthly learning session presented by top experts in a variety of ophthalmology sub-specialties. This monthly meeting is presented jointly with the University of Washington Department of Ophthalmology.

Please Note:

We have implemented some changes to the Monthly Meeting Series moving forward for the speakers to provide a more focused set of talks to our audience. Instead of talks on Wednesday evening and Thursday morning, we have changed the format for the talks to be only on Thursday mornings. This will coincide with Thursday morning Grand Rounds at the University of Washington. There will be a sign-in sheet at the counter so please be sure to sign in when you arrive You are also welcome to stay for the 9:00-10:00 a.m. WAEPS Resident Lecture. This lecture is in place of the previous Wednesday night lectures and also qualifies for CME credit.

Lectures will be recorded for streaming by members with CME available and will be at 8:00-9:00 a.m. While members are encouraged to attend in person at the UW location, a virtual option will be available to members to view and complete an evaluation to qualify for CME. See below for the Monthly Meeting Archives

We look forward to engaging with everyone in this new format in the coming year with our exciting slate of speakers. For more information, visit the UW Grand Rounds Events Page: https://ophthalmology.washington.edu/events/grand-rounds
