PECAA is pleased to announce its next COPE virtual education event: CE Potpourri 2024: Dynamic Speakers On Compelling Ocular Topics. Taking place on Sunday, December 8th, 11:00 am – 5:30 pm ET, this event will provide six (6) hours of COPE-accredited clinical continuing education to optometrists across the country and will be presented in a synchronous, virtual Zoom webinar format. In accordance with current COPE/ARBO guidelines, there are no testing requirements for synchronous virtual formatted courses to count as COPE-approved CE credits.
Each PECAA education event provides impactful instruction on a targeted area relevant to contemporary eye care practice. The December 8th event will feature discussions on some compelling ocular topics, not commonly discussed, in our industry this year. Attendees will expand their understanding of ordering and interpreting blood work for patients, along with a deeper grasp of the role that AI will play in the future of eye care. These lectures will also uncover the best way to promote eyelid health and how to better handle patients with declining cognitive skills.
CE Potpourri 2024: Dynamic Speakers On Compelling Ocular Topics is open to all optometrists nationwide, including PECAA Max members, HEA Advantage members and non-members — PECAA Propel members are also invited to join us. We look forward to welcoming you to this event.
