COURSE DESCRIPTION
There’s more than meets the eye
We’ve revamped our highly requested 2023 Ophthalmology Conference to bring you a comprehensive master program of all things visual. In this 4-part video series, we’ll review ocular diseases of every kind; study species-specific differences in ocular disease presentations, optimize your ophthalmic pharmacy, and see how eyes can be a window to the rest of the body.
Dr. Fritz will review methods of ophthalmic examination and which tools work best in your clinical setting, as well as common ocular emergencies. Then, feel more confident managing eye problems after hearing Dr. Hauessler’s tips and tricks for treating corneal ulcers, keratitis, epiphora, glaucoma, uveitis, retinal detachment, and more.
Through this IntroVet Certificate Program, you’ll earn 11 hours of RACE Approved CE. Upon successfully passing the final assessment (quiz), you’ll receive an instantly downloadable CE Certificate, as well as a professional Certificate for display in your hospital.
Your Display Certificate will be mailed within 30 days following completion of the program and passage of each assessment.
