The Brien Holden Vision Institute Academy will launch a new myopia management course, ‘Complex Cases’, in November. It will follow the original ‘Managing Myopia’ course, which will run again in October.
The online courses are accredited for continuing education points by COPE, the General Optical Council (GOC), Optometry Australia (OA), the Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians Board (ODOB) and the Optometristen Vereniging Nederland (OVN), for practitioners across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
“The new course is a natural progression for practitioners who have completed the ‘Managing Myopia’ course”, says Judith Stern, Global Manager of Education for Brien Holden Vision Institute Academy. “It will provide practitioners with the tools and strategies to feel confident in handling more complex cases.”
“Patient factors outside the scope of accessible evidence, treating a patient for more than one condition at a time, poorer than expected outcomes with management strategies, or factors that are not yet understood, may all challenge a practitioner’s ability to manage a case effectively.”
The self-paced, independent learning courses utilise interactive case studies where practitioners are guided through cases using polls, questions and videos from global leaders.
