OPT Visionary - Summer 2014

CLASS OF 2014 RESIDENTS PAGE 37 O n January 26, NSUCO hosted its Sixth Annual Res- idents’ Day. Our program continues to grow each year, and this year we were fortunate enough to highlight 30 outstanding optometric residents from programs affiliated with NSU throughout the state of Florida and At- lanta, Georgia. During the event, the residents presented interesting and challenging cases encountered during their residency training in the form of rapid-fire grand rounds. Topics covered included anterior segment disease, posterior segment disease, neuro-ophthalmic disease, specialty contact lens fitting, binocular vision anomalies, and vision therapy. All courses were approved by COPE and the Florida Board for continuing education, while the lectures were presented in a dual-track format allowing for plenty of options and variety. In addition to the outstanding education, the program pro- vides an opportunity for students to interact with residents from the various programs and learn more about residency training and the opportunities residency training provides. We look forward to seeing you at the Seventh Annual Res- idents’ Day in March 2015.
