OptoWest Anaheim: A full day of CE for doctors and optometric staff

The COA Education and Clinical Practice Committee asked itself, “What good is CE if doctors can’t use it in their practice?” That’s why we’ve brought the best educators to OptoWest Anaheim to deliver practical education for both doctors and optometric staff. Register for the Sunday, May 3 program at the Anaheim Marriott Suites that brings the latest clinical information and implementation skills for doctors and their staff.

Here are some courses to look forward to at OptoWest Anaheim:

For doctors:

Posterior Segment Disease Case Challenges (TPA), Steven Ferrucci, OD, FAAO

Enhance patient satisfaction in treating and managing common retinal etiologies, along with gaining a greater understanding of practice referral patterns for these entities.

For staff:

Dealing with Difficult People, Mary E. Schmidt, ABOC, CPO

Your staff will be equipped to deal with the seemingly impossible that promises endless returns for your practice – please the patient, work well with fellow staff or, the doctor who has a last-minute task that takes a half-day to complete.

Other opportunities for new patient care-centered knowledge acquisition for doctors include:

Systemic Medications for Special Populations, Young and Old (TPA), Bruce Onofrey, OD, RPh, FAAO

Achieve better patient outcomes involving pharmacology and clinical applications of systemic medications in the management of ocular disease, including pregnant, pediatric, elderly and other distinct populations.

Cloak and Dagger: Retinal Clues to Systemic Disease (TPA). Steven Ferrucci, OD, FAAO

Enhance your skills in co-management of systemic diseases encountered in retinal findings.

Everything You Wanted to Know About Therapeutics but Were Afraid to Ask (TPA), Bruce Onofrey, OD, RPh, FAAO

Case examples are featured to increase your knowledge of the latest use of pharmaceutical agents used to manage anterior segment disease.

Your OD staff will come away equipped to enhance the practice performance through:

Customer Service - Top 10 Absolutes, Mary E. Schmidt, ABOC, CPO

Staff professionalism skills and their role in positive patient encounters, retention and practice growth are taught.

Time Management – Prioritize, Mary E. Schmidt, ABOC, CPO

What could be more important to a busy practice, busy doctors, busy staff and hurried patients than the ability to practice effective time-management skills.

Frame Inventory, Mary E. Schmidt, ABOC, CPO

Invaluable to a practice is staff’s knowledge of the fiscal impact of optical inventory and practice profits, the development of an action plan for inventory management and the resulting benefits to the bottom line
