Johns Hopkins Atlantic Coast Retina Conference 2021

Date & Location Friday, January 22, 2021, 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Internet Live Conference
Target Audience Specialties – Ophthalmology

Overview
Given the rapid growth in new treatments for common retinal diseases published within the last two years, there is a need for case presentations that demonstrate the application of clinical trials to clinical practice. This course will provide rapid presentation followed by expert discussion regarding the application of clinical trials to clinical practice.
The Johns Hopkins Atlantic Coast Retina Conference 2021 was best for ophthalmologists, retina specialists, fellows, residents, and vision researchers who wanted to stay current with advances in retinal disease management and learn how to apply clinical trial findings to real-world practice.

Retina specialists and ophthalmologists managing patients with macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, and other retinal disorders
Residents and fellows in ophthalmology seeking case-based learning and exposure to expert perspectives
Vision scientists and researchers interested in translational applications of new therapies
Allied eye care professionals who support retinal disease management in clinical settings

What You’d Learn

Application of new treatments for common retinal diseases published in the prior two years
Case-based demonstrations showing how clinical trial data translates into patient care
