Crowne Plaza Columbus - Downtown - Columbus, OH
2 Day Conference March 10th - 11th, 2017
11.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit Hours

Description

Ophthalmic imaging and visual field progression analysis are constantly evolving, and it is critical that eye care providers stay up to date in these areas in order to accurately diagnosis glaucoma and glaucoma progression. First line eye providers also need to be familiar with new medications and new surgical procedures on the horizon for the treatment of glaucoma as they may be the individuals who need to institute the treatment or decide who is referred to glaucoma specialists to receive such treatments. Glaucoma procedures are expected to increase 81.9% in 5 years and up to 121.8% in 10 years, further emphasizing the need for all eye care providers to be up to date on appropriate indications and techniques for such procedures.

Can You Handle the Pressure?  Tips and Tricks for Managing Glaucoma will be a live meeting employing multiple formats including presentation, patient care studies, surgical videos, and round table discussions.  This will stimulate discussion and engagement while covering complex topics.   The use of multiple learning modalities is consistent with principles of adult learning theory to allow different sessions/styles of presentation maximizing knowledge and competency acquisition.
We will ask attendees to delineate new knowledge they have gained and new strategies they will employ as a result of these activity.   We will survey attendees regarding the knowledge they attained and any intended practice changes they wish consider implementing immediately following each session.
