Fall Symposium | Medical College of Wisconsin

Join us on September 14, 2024 for our annual Fall Symposium, co-hosted by the Milwaukee Ophthalmological Society!

This year's symposium will focus on areas of pediatric ophthalmology, retina and oculoplastics. Our goal is to increase the education and knowledge of all aspects of vision care and research with an emphasis in restoring and preserving vision.

Learning Objectives

Evaluate updates in subspecialty diagnosis and treatment, particularly in the realms of oculoplastics, pediatric ophthalmology, and retina.
Recognize time-sensitive diagnoses which would most benefit from subspecialty care, versus those that need immediate action, versus those that can be managed locally. Panel discussions and real-world examples will be provided, including pearls and pitfalls, by experienced presenters.
Identify different structural goals and results of Asian blepharoplasty and browplasty.
Identify different subsets of rare diseases like retinoblastoma, and identify how advances in technology (like AI) can be used to supplement the practice of ophthalmology.
