Many eye care providers find it difficult to keep up with the latest developments in ophthalmology research. As part of the annual Alumni meeting program, senior staff ophthalmologists, researchers, fellow, resident staff and alumni present the findings of investigations and research projects conducted during the past year. A portion of our program is intended to address this gap in knowledge by providing presentations on some of the most recent developments in ophthalmology research. During this portion of the program individuals will be selected to provide recent medical or surgical developments in the various sub-specialty areas of ophthalmology. Consequently, those in attendee will have the opportunity to learn about some of the most innovative accomplishments in the field.

At the conclusion of this CME activity, attendees will have gained an understanding of the latest trends in disease detection, clinical management and medical therapy. Attendees will also obtain knowledge in the latest research being conducted by the Henry Ford health System Department of Ophthalmology as well as by HFHS alumni throughout the United States.

1. To provide through presentations from thought leaders in Ophthalmology information that analyzes and summarizes new ideas procedures and technology so that clinicians can apply this knowledge to patient care. To more rapidly disseminate the knowledge acquired from ophthalmic research so that clinicians have an increased awareness of this information.
