Wilmer’s 26th Annual Technician Course

2024-09-10 08:06:17

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce the Wilmer Eye Institute’s 26th Annual Technician Course will take place Saturday, October 26, 2024, from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm.

This is a great opportunity for ophthalmic technicians — at all levels — to discover new innovations and technologies in eye care from world-renowned Wilmer researchers and discuss complex cases and ocular pathologies with expert Wilmer clinicians. It also provides certified ophthalmic technicians with the opportunity to earn 5.5 JCHAPO continuing education credits.

The cost is $125 per person and includes breakfast and lunch.

The event will be held at the Owens Auditorium in the Koch Cancer Research Building on The Johns Hopkins Hospital Medical Campus. This year, we are excited to offer a virtual option for those who cannot attend in person.

Don’t miss the chance to provide your technicians with the opportunity to learn, earn credits, and network with peers!

For course registration and more information, visit Annual Technician Course at the Wilmer Eye Institute.

We look forward to seeing you and your team in October.

Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins Medicine
