NSUCO - The Visionary Fall 2010

the VISIONARY • Summer/Fall 2010 43 Congratulations to our residents on the successful completion of the Second Annual Residents’ Day Program for the NSU College of Optometry, which was held on January 31, 2010. This event showcased residents throughout the state of Florida and Atlanta, Georgia, affiliated with NSU’s College of Optometry. Nineteen residents presented lectures representing nine of our residency sites at the Orlando VAMC, Tallahassee VAMC, Lake City VAMC, Gainesville VAMC, Bay Pines VAMC, Daytona Beach VAMC, Aran Eye Associates, Clayton Eye Center, and NSU. These residents presented interesting and challenging cases encountered during their residency training in the form of grand rounds to NSU faculty members, fellow residents, optometric students, and practicing optometrists. The lectures covered a wide range of anterior segment, posterior segment, and neuro-ophthalmic disease in the adult and pediatric population. The Residents’ Day Programwas initiated three years ago and continues to grow each year. In addition to providing an excellent learning opportunity for the participants as a component of their residency training, it provides COPE-approved continuing education to attendees as well as the opportunity for students to interact with residents from various programs and learn more about residency training and the opportunities it provides. We are very pleased with the success of this program and invite you to attend next year’s event.
