Mission Statement
The 2013 Retina Subspecialty Day aims to provide a comprehensive and focused medical and surgical retina update for the retina subspecialist, interested ophthalmologist, and ophthalmologist in training. The meeting focuses on up-to-date, clinically and scientifically relevant retina topics presented by an international group of respected retina specialists. The major educational goals are to highlight new clinical and investigative information and to transfer it to the participant so that it is useful for patient care. The meeting attains these goals by engaging the participant in didactic presentations, panel discussions, audience response polling, and audience response question generation for moderated panels, as well as in numerous informal "breaks with the experts."
