“It’s been three years since I've bought a practice, and I find that running a practice is far more difficult than the medical aspect of the practice. When I go to the Academy meetings, I find that the most important lectures are the AAOE courses. All the lecturers have been outstanding, and they will go to all lengths to answer your questions. Thanks to the courses, every year I learn a little more about the business of a medical practice.”

“I found the AAOE practice management courses helpful because they provided additional knowledge about the business of ophthalmology that I had not already learned myself. The information is pertinent because the courses are presented by physicians, administrators and other experts who currently work in ophthalmic practice management.”
Bruce D. Cameron, MD

“Physicians receive excellent medical training, but very little education about the business of running a practice. The business administration courses offered at the AAOE Program at the Annual Meeting give an excellent introduction to these topics and can help physicians be prepared to deal with practice management issues.”

“Attending AAOE gives you an opportunity to strengthen your current knowledge in practice management and more than anything, network with fellow administrators in your field. Networking, in my opinion, provides more knowledge and strength — my peers have been life savers at times throughout my career!“

“Without the information and contacts I've met at the AAOE Program, I would be running my practice in the dark, not sure who to ask or where to go when issues come up. Now, all I have to do is pick up the phone or fire off an e-mail and I have all the answers I need. I am more aware of upcoming issues like Red Flag Rules and legislative changes well ahead of schedule, and don't get caught unaware with my "peeps" watching my back. In my opinion, an administrator or manager cannot afford NOT to attend.“
Nancy Baker, Practice Administrator
Elander Eye Medical Group, Inc. Santa Monica, Calif.
“The amount of courses and the variety is amazing. There is something for everyone from beginners to advance staff. The course instructors are knowledgeable, up to date, and always willing to answer any questions and help in anyway.“
