NEW LUNCH SESSION AT NATIONAL GLAUCOMA SYMPOSIUM

Novartis has developed an innovative model for patient interaction to identify types of patients that doctors encounter in their glaucoma practice and to tailor strategies to match patients' needs and characteristics. During a one-hour session from 12:30-1:30 on Sunday, July 30, Novartis staff will discuss adherence challenges based on patient type as well as approaches to enhance patient engagement and adherence to their glaucoma treatment plans.  This free presentation is available for doctors registered for the National Glaucoma Symposium. Please note: NO CE CREDIT WILL BE OFFERED FOR THIS SESSION.  More details are posted on the conference registration page.

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.

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.
