Ophthalmology CME

Prepare for OKAPs, Board Examinations or MOC with the Comprehensive Ophthalmology Review from the David Geffen School of Medicine.
Topics covered include:
Pediatric Ophthalmology, Strabismus, Optics, Refraction, Tumors, Surgical Retina, Neuro-ophthalmology, Cornea, Anterior Uveitis, Eyelids, Orbit, Lacrimal System, Glaucoma and many more.
At the completion of the Comprehensive Ophthalmology Review, you should be able to:
• Identify and describe fundamentals of clinical ophthalmology and all its subspecialties
• Integrate the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of ophthalmic disease
• Integrate the latest guidelines for management of ocular disease into clinical practice
• Review for knowledge assessments at all levels (OKAPs, Board Examinations, Maintenance of Certification (MOC)

All CME at the Wills Eye Knowledge Portal is now free of charge. A good way to start is by taking the very helpful virtual video tour. Some recent titles are:
• Pre-Operative Evaluation Anterior Segment Trauma
• Keratoconus – Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK) for Keratoconus – Is It Worth It?
• ECP for Glaucoma
• Managing Diabetic Retinopathy in the Cataract Patient
• Neovascular AMD Treatment Update

Target Audience: Ophthalmologists

Practical Reviews in Ophthalmology keeps you informed of the most important research and clinical findings published in Ophthalmology each month.
Receive up to 22 ophthalmology articles summarized and reviewed per issue, including 10-12 in convenient audio format; downloadable PDF of written reviews with Take-Home Pearls that reinforce the audio material and give you a valuable reference for instant recall by subject; and self-assessment online quizzes to highlight key points and reinforce what you’ve learned.

Hone your critical reasoning and evaluation skills with the Osler Live Ophthalmology Mock Oral Course, an intensive 3-day case review course designed to help you pass the Oral Certification exam in Ophthalmology.

Topics covered in the Osler Live Ophthalmology Mock Oral Course include:
• Optics, Refraction & Physiology
• Neuro-ophthalmology & Orbit
• External Eye and Adnexa
• Anterior Segment of the Eye
• Posterior Segment of the Eye
• Pediatrics & Strabismus

Target Audience: Opthalmologists

This activity consists of three sessions, each of which should take approximately 1 hour to complete.

At the conclusion of New Insights into Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Geographic Atrophy, you will be able to:
• Identify the risk factors for AMD and the role of the complement pathway in the pathogenesis of GA
• Describe the progression of early AMD to GA and monitoring parameters that can identify disease progression
• Discuss the importance of routine eye exams and prompt referral when patients with AMD experience disease progression
• Assess the efficacy and safety of emerging treatment options for GA secondary to AMD
• Identify patient barriers to the optimal management of AMD and how they may be effectively addressed through education
• Describe the benefits of comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to the management of AMD

Target Audience:
This program is intended for optometrists who have significant numbers of people with age-related macular degeneration and geographic atrophy in their patient care panels and other eye care professionals with an interest in the treatment of age-related macular degeneration and geographic atrophy.

Preserving Visual Function in the Aging Population consists of two lectures with discussion:
• Preserving Visual Function in the Aging Population
• ‘I Didn’t See This Coming!’ Optometric Case Studies in Visual Acuity Challenges

The presenters are Mark T. Dunbar, OD, FAAO and Dean Elliott, MD.

Target Audience:
This program is intended for US-based optometrists who have significant numbers of older patients with decreased visual acuity in their patient care panels.

After completing Ocular surface disease (OSD): diagnostic, management, and clinical considerations in “dry eye” , you will be able to:

• Discuss the causes, symptoms, and types of dry eye or ocular surface disease, emphasizing the pathophysiology that impacts treatment decisions
• Describe the clinical implications of dry eye on contact lens or surgical success, and apply this knowledge in patient cases when discussing expectations with patients
• Utilize patient history, ocular examination, and tear quantity tests to accurately diagnose ocular surface disease, with an emphasis on the importance of early diagnosis
• Compare available and emerging treatments for ocular surface disease based on mechanisms of action and efficacy, with a focus on individualizing treatments to improve patient outcomes

Target Audiences:

Ophthalmologists, optometrists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and pharmacists who practice or are interested in ophthalmology; and any other healthcare professionals with an interest in or who clinically encounter patients with dry eye.
