Description
CME on Your Terms – The Osler Institute utilized state of the art equipment to record our Live February 2017 comprehensive Ophthalmology Review Course and bring it to you! These Video/Audio files are stored “in the cloud” so you can stream them anywhere, anytime, as long as you have an internet connection, watch or listen to on your phone, computer – your learning experience is almost like being at the live activity, but without travel costs and time away from your practice. Included with each online review is an electronic downloadable copy of the syllabus that corresponds to the Video/Audio lectures for your use while viewing or as a free-standing study or clinical practice guide.
This comprehensive review is designed to help you pass your written exams and to update your clinical knowledge base; it is especially useful to Ophthalmology residents taking their WQE as well as practicing physicians preparing to take the cognitive DOCK exam or to complete the Quarterly Question Module in lieu of the DOCK Core Knowledge Module. The course includes didactic lectures with embedded review questions. Emphasis is on evidence-based practice and board-relevant standards of care, incorporating new concepts and testing strategies including an extensive review of optics and refraction, ophthalmic imaging, and newer approaches to ophthalmic surgery. As a result, it provides a good review for physicians in practice wanting a thorough update.
