NSUCO - The Visionary Fall 2010

the VISIONARY • Summer/Fall 2010 22 This program is designed to bring you the latest information on therapeutic treat- ment and management. As primary care providers, optometrists are presented with a number of challenging diagnostic dilemmas. The program will help you to increase your comfort level and update your knowledge base to incorporate all treatments into your practice. This meeting starts on Thursday evening after a light dinner with two hours of CE and will continue on Friday with a full day of CE, which will include an extended break around lunchtime for participants to explore the French Quarter. We will have a similar schedule on Saturday with a slightly shorter lunch hour. Speakers in- clude Drs. Joe Sowka, Alan Kabat, Kim Reed, and Mike Bacigalupi. The CE hours will be COPE approved, and 14 of the hours will be approved by the Florida Board of Optometry for transcript-qual- ity credit.
