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 HFHS Department of Ophthalmology and by HFHS alumni throughout the US.
