Do you have some great optometric images that you’re willing to share with ABO? We’re looking for high quality images (anterior or posterior segment photos, OCTs, VFs, topography) of common ocular conditions to use with examination questions, CAP assessments and other learning modules. If you would like to share any images, please contact Dr. Cathy Hines at [email protected].
Did you miss the August webinar, Myopia Starter Pack with Dr. Cheryl Chapman? It’s now available on our website as an asynchronous course. And save the date now for our winter webinar, Retina Care in Optometry: When to Manage and When to Co-manage, presented by Mohammad Rafieetary, OD and Salar Rafieetary, MD, scheduled for Monday, December 2nd from 8:00 – 10:00 EST.
Attending Academy? Stop by booth 1511 to visit with ABO staff. Learn about the board certification process or our new CAQ program, check your Diplomate status/requirements or get the answers to any questions you may have! We look forward to seeing everyone in the exhibit hall October 8-10!
We need your feedback! ABO is conducting a Diplomate survey this fall to better understand how we can help our Diplomates share the value of their board certification with patients and colleagues. Look for the survey to arrive via email in early October and earn 2 CE credits toward MOC for participating!
