OCEAN EDGE ROOM BLOCK FILLING UP

The rooms available at the conference rate at Ocean Edge Resort for the National Glaucoma Symposium are filling up. Rooms in the hotel on the Mansion side of the property are already sold out. There is limited availability for the condos on the golf course side of the property and will likely be sold out before the reservation cut-off date of June 25.  Once the rooms at the special conference rate are sold out, reservations will be based on availability at the regular retail rate.

EARLY RISER SESSIONS SATURDAY & SUNDAY FULL

The Early Riser CE sessions on Saturday and Sunday at the National Glaucoma Symposium are now full; space is still available for the Early Riser CE session on Monday.

WEBINAR CE CERTIFICATES FOR PA

The Pennsylvania Board of Optometry has notified the NGS that we no longer need to apply for course approval for NGS webinars.  Because the Pennsylvania Board has determined that NGS webinars are included under State Regulation 23.86(d), eligibility for course credit is based on provider qualifications.  Starting in December 2016, CE certificates from NGS webinars for doctors in Pennsylvania will have an indication that the course is qualified as on-line CE but will not have an individual course approval number.

NGS LIVE WEBINARS = CATEGORY 1 ABO

We have received confirmation that the NGS live webinars now count as Category 1 Education towards American Board of Optometry (ABO) certification.
