Purpose: Audio-Digest Foundation CME/CE activities are designed to provide its learners – physicians and other healthcare professionals – with continuing education that will help identify clinical problems in their practice settings, provide content to help to solve those problems, and increase their application of knowledge to practice.
Audio-Digest Ophthalmology is specifically designed to provide the participant with up-to-date and accurate information on diagnosis and management in the major subspecialty areas of practice, including, but not limited to:
Allergy
Cataract surgery and intraocular lenses
Corneal and external disease
Extraocular-muscle dysfunction
Glaucoma
Neuro-ophthalmology
Orbital disease
Ocular oncology
Pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus
Refractive surgery
Retinal and macular disease
Systemic and autoimmune disorders
The goals of this program are to improve ethics in ophthalmology and explore controversies in neuro-ophthalmology. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1: Describe the concept of professionalism, especially as it pertains to medical ethics.
2: Discuss some of the major ethical challenges ophthalmologists may encounter.
3: Determine when off-label use of systemic corticosteroids is appropriate.
4: Explain the role of magnetic resonance imaging in the work-up of patients with optic neuritis, and explain why it is important to refer such patients to a specialist.
5: Request that the radiologist develop an imaging protocol for patients suspected of having Horner syndrome.
