Overview
UCSF Optometry Course 2024 is a 7.5-hour continuing education seminar designed to provide optometrists in all clinical settings with cutting-edge yet clinically-applicable information, based on the extensive experience of several optometrists and ophthalmologists at UCSF and San Francisco VA.
This year’s keynote speaker is Julie Schallhorn, MD, discussing Light Adjustable Lenses (LAL) and other refractive surgery updates. Learners will also enjoy 1 glaucoma hour.
Proceeds from the UCSF Optometry Course support the UCSF Optometry Residency program, where we provide two select optometrists with a rich post-graduate education in ocular disease, neuro-ophthalmology, specialty contact lenses, and primary eye care.
This event will again be virtual via Zoom webinar format, with live speakers and speakers readily available for Q&A. All optometrists in all states are welcome. Please register via the UCSF Office of CME today!
Registration is $120 for optometrists. Cancellations in writing prior to 5PM PST on 3/29/24 will receive a 50% refund. No refunds offered after 3/29/24. For all payment-related questions, please email [email protected]
Registered paid guests will be sent a separate email by Daphne Chan in the days prior to the event containing the Zoom webinar registration link. Once guests register their name and email via Zoom, they will automatically receive the link to join the actual Zoom webinar.
All courses are COPE-pending. Learners will receive digital handouts after the conference. Attendance for credit will be monitored. You may obtain CE credit just for the courses you attend. CE certificates will be emailed in the 4-6 weeks following the event.
Live Stream Meeting
This course will only be offered as a virtual conference via Zoom. Login instructions along with the digital syllabus will be shared with the attendees a few days before the meeting. You must tune in to the live conference via your own Zoom account to claim CE.
