320+
HOURS OF EDUCATION
AVAILABLE AT VEW
Education at this fall’s Vision Expo West will focus on patient care,
customer experience and profitability. More than 320 hours of
education will be offered at the conference, which will be held Sept.
14 to 17 at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Las Vegas.
The Vision Expo’s continuing education program, which is inclusive
to every role and experien ce level, is positively impacting practices
and ultimately patients, according to research following Vision Expo
East. It was found that 94 per cent of past attendees believe the education they received would help provide better care for their patients,
according to The Vision Council. The same research found that nearly
three in four will make changes based on their education experience,
including implementing what they learned at their offices and
training staff.
“We recognize that attendees are taking time away from the office to
attend Vision Expo which is why we offer a comprehensive didactic
curriculum that is rich in ocular disease and contact lens courses as
well as elevated business education sessions catered to bringing back
actionable solutions that can be immediately implemented,” says
Mark Dunbar, co-chair of the Vision Expo Conference Advisory Board.
“Our continuing education is increasingly focused on the practical
elements of providing vision care while running a successful
business, or those wishing to open a practice.”
