2021 Multidisciplinary Symposium Vascular Disease: Manifestations, Morbidities, and Management
Posted over 4 years ago by Tracy Kiele
Join us live Thurs., April 22, 6-9pm
The vascular disease symposium will be structured into two online sessions, separated by a short break. The first session will have a systemic theme with an internal medicine presentation on hypertension, as well as, a cardiology approach to anti-platelet management. The second session will focus on ocular blood flow. We earmark two areas of suspected ocular circulation insufficiency or instability, and the ramifications that can perpetuate ocular pathophysiology. Two leading conditions that eye care providers face on almost a daily basis are retinal disease and glaucoma. We will explore the role that blood flow and ocular perfusion can play with regard to normal-tension glaucoma (NTG).
This year’s Spring symposium lends itself well to be an inter-professional continuing education event for attending practitioners. We are excited to offer attendance to primary care physicians and nurse practitioners, in addition to our core audiences of optometry and ophthalmology.
