Intended Audience: Retina Specialists

The ASRS develops activities/educational interventions in the context of desirable physician attributes (i.e. ACGME core competencies). The Annual Meeting provides retina specialists with “medical knowledge about established and evolving biomedical, clinical, and cognate (epidemiological and social-behavioral) sciences and the application of this knowledge to patient care”. 

The American Society of Retina Specialists is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
This activity has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
