AADO to provide classes, discussion groups at expo

The American Association of Dispensing Ophthalmologists Inc. (AADO) will provide educational programs during the continuing education component of International Vision Expo East, March 22 to 25 at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York City.

AADO officers-President Vincent K. Young, MD; Executive Director Pamela B. Fritz; and Secretary Katherine McNelis, COA, NCLC, FNAO-will present classes and moderate a series of AADO-endorsed dispensing ophthalmology roundtables.

Instructors: Vincent K. Young, MD

Accreditation: American Board of Opticians (ABO), Joint Commission on Allied Health Personnel in Ophthalmology (JCAHPO), AOA Paraoptometric; accredited for the New York state-licensed opticians

The dispensing ophthalmology roundtables will be Saturday, March 24, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in the Crystal Palace of the Javits Center, E Hall, Concourse Level.

VEE attendees may participate in any one roundtable discussion. For a practice to maximize the experience, however, staff members-for example, a physician and a key dispensary staff member-should participate in separate roundtables. Every participant will receive the "Roundtable Companion Notebook," which summarizes all roundtable topics.

Roundtables:

Admission to the roundtables is free, but because space is limited, pre-registration is required. Register online at http://www.aado.net/ or call toll-free 800/705-AADO (2236).
