Young Ophthalmologist Program
Kris Gillian, MD, of the Academy’s Young Ophthalmologist Committee provides an overview of the 2007 YO Program in New Orleans. Young and young-at-heart physicians from New York to California and as far away as Kenya gathered to listen and take notes on everything from advocacy and coding to marketing and negotiating one's first contract.

The Young Ophthalmologist Committee presented another successful and well received Young Ophthalmologist Program at the 2007 Annual Meeting. The enthusiastic reception to the coding section produced a multitude of questions that we were not able to answer during the program due to time constraints.  However, those pertinent coding questions have been answered by our coding executive, Sue Vicchrilli, COT, OCS.

Podcasts are now available from selected segments of the 2007 Young Ophthalmologist Program.  Listen now to information about AAOE resources, advocacy and coding.
