The Osler Institute utilized state-of-the-art equipment to record our Live August/September 2024 comprehensive Ophthalmology Virtual Review Course and bring it to you! These Video files are stored “in the cloud,” so you can stream them anywhere, anytime, as long as you have an internet connection, watch or listen to them on your phone or computer – your learning experience is almost like being at the live activity but without travel costs and time away from your practice. In addition, each online review is an electronic downloadable copy of the syllabus corresponding to the lectures for your viewing or as a free-standing study or clinical practice guide.

The Ophthalmology Subscription-based Review is designed to help you pass your written exams and update your clinical knowledge base; it benefits Ophthalmology residents taking their WQE and practicing physicians preparing to complete the Quarterly Question Module. The course includes didactic lectures with embedded review questions. Emphasis is on evidence-based practice and board-relevant standards of care, incorporating new concepts and testing strategies, including an extensive review of optics and refraction, ophthalmic imaging, and more recent approaches to ophthalmic surgery. As a result, it provides a good review for physicians wanting a thorough update.
