The prerequisite for each workshop is to already possess a basic knowledge of that particular skill. The workshops are designed to help ophthalmic medical personnel further hone the skill and, through hands-on instruction, demonstrate the best clinical applications of that skill.
Your registration includes a full day of course instruction, e-syllabus, educational credits, continental breakfast, coffee breaks, lunch, access to exhibits, and a hosted reception.
There will be no printed handouts for this meeting. One week prior to the meeting, you will receive an email with a link for access to your e-syllabus. We encourage you to use it to access important information before you arrive, including printable/downloadable speaker handouts, an updated schedule, and driving and parking directions.
