A Message From the Course Directors
We are pleased to introduce the two-year Rush Department of Ophthalmology CME Series. Every quarter, a guest panelist will join our Rush sub-specialty faculty to present a one-hour, case-based discussion of commonly seen subspecialty ophthalmology cases in a Grand Rounds format. The CME series is geared toward all practicing ophthalmologists and ophthalmology trainees.
Our aim is to discuss clinical pearls of a clinical scenario often encountered by general ophthalmologists and specialists, with a discussion among the specialty panel on how best to handle such cases. This course is designed to bring the practicing ophthalmologists and physicians in training up to date on the evaluations and treatment in medical and surgical care of ocular disorders. The course will be engaging and educational for all comers in our ophthalmology community.
We hope you can join us.
Sincerely,
 |  |
