Young Ophthalmologists' Section
YOS is a WAEPS special interest group that meets several times a year for networking and learning in a fun, informal atmosphere. We will restart these in person gatherings when the Covid restrictions are lifted in 2021.
The Young Ophthalmologists Section (YOS) welcomes those ophthalmologists in their first 10 years of practice as well as those new to Washington State.
