The 13th Biennial Vancouver Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Meeting will take place on Friday September 10th 2021. Although we won’t be meeting in person this year, we look forward to welcoming you to our first virtual event, featuring a faculty of experts from around the globe.
Our program, aimed at pediatric ophthalmologists, orthoptists, comprehensive ophthalmologists and ophthalmologists-in-training, will highlight a group of world-class speakers: Drs Carol Shields (Philadelphia, USA), Glen Gole (Brisbane, Australia), Arif Khan (Abu Dhabi, UAE), Anthony Robson (London, England) and Jonathan Holmes (Tucson, Arizona USA) will speak on subjects ranging from strabismus to retinal electrophysiology and from genetics to ocular oncology. After each talk, time will be set aside for interactive discussions
A registration fee of CAD $50 will be payable online. CME credits for physicians can be claimed from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and, for orthoptists, from the Canadian Orthoptic Council. Through an agreement between the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert Royal College MOC credits to AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.
We hope you will join is for what promises to be an exciting and instructive day!
