The Why.
We have all been where you are now. You can’t learn everything about the real world of ophthalmology in residency. As you get into practice, you will find that there are many things you wish you learned sooner. Real World Ophthalmology is here to help ease your way.
Real World Ophthalmology has been specially designed to answer these questions for you and much more. We have an incredible, All-Star faculty of well established ophthalmologists who have come together to share their vast knowledge of what they wish they knew sooner.
Where
Virtual— so you can participate wherever you are— clinic, home, in your backyard, at the beach — come learn what you need to succeed.
How
Through a highly interactive, enjoyable educational forum with opportunities for discussion, questions, sharing ideas and networking! There will be pop up trivia questions and a scavenger hunt with fabulous prizes because why not have fun while learning?!
Cost
We want to ensure that the knowledge and experience shared at the Real World Ophthalmology is completely accessible to all young ophthalmologists. So that’s why we made this FREE for all ophthalmologists in residency, fellowship or the first 10 years of practice!
The Real World Ophthalmology is a new educational resource created by Dr. Lisa M. Nijm and dedicated to helping young ophthalmologists succeed in early practice.
With curated content developed for real life questions, this bi-annual virtual meeting complemented by in person events at major meetings will provide young ophthalmologists with time sensitive, real world insight and pearls of wisdom to get a head start in their careers.
Act fast! This is an experience you don’t want to miss.
