Good morning 2012.
We have a NBEO information session this Wednesday the 8th of December with Dr. Brookman and Dr. Berman. It will start at 10:50am and hopefully end by 11:25am, so bring your lunch! (But don't bring it into the class....Dr. Brookman sent me an email reminding me to remind you of that specific detail.....).
Good luck on Strab & Low Vision!

Last post of the quarter?

Hi guys!

One more left...just keep swimming....but in the mean time (while you are looking for something non-OHP related to amuse you), I have some reminders & info about what's happening next week.

First off, we have a couple of class events happening this week:

Wednesday, Nov. 10th @ 11am in the student lounge is our "Multi-baby Baby shower" to celebrate the arrival of 2 little men & one pretty little lady! There will be sweets (cake?) and ice cream for your consumption & enjoyment, so please join us on Wednesday.

The Career Advancement Program (sponsored by the AOA & organized by Dr. Sanders) is happening next Sunday, Nov. 14th. I haven't heard an official start time, but the rumor is 10am till 3pm. A lot of you have already signed up (thanks!) but if you're interested in attending and haven't signed up, please indicate so on the google document so they can have an idea of how much food to have on hand. Wednesday is the deadline for signing up:) It should be a pretty good event.

Next item: We have a multifocal contact lens workshop coming up next month on December 10th, and it will follow a similar format to the toric workshop we had in the summer. There will be a sign up sheet heading around next week, so start thinking about a group of people that you would like to work with. Also, we need eyeballs for this workshop...SO. If you happen to know anyone who might be interested in wearing or already in MF lenses, email myself or Lindsay. As with the toric workshop, there are a few perks to sitting as a patient (food, some cash and students poking their eyes?). As we get closer to the actual date there will be more info coming out in regards to this event, so keep your eyes peeled:)

Teacher of the quarter!!!!!
Thank you guys for taking the time to vote for teacher of the quarter etc. We have a tie for teacher of the quarter between Dr. Sawamura & Dr. Cotter, so if you see either of them, be sure to congratulate them! And while you're congratulating Sawamura on that, you might as well congratulate him for being voted Clinic Staff Doctor of the Quarter!

But wait, there's more.....
Speaking of Dr. Cotter. Just when you though Strab was off our backs....We have Strab Management next quarter but because of Academy & Thanksgiving we have to do some lecture rearrangement....FUN! So here's the "make up" lecture schedule for the first few weeks of strab management;
Wednesday, Nov. 10th Strab Management @ 8am-8:50 (in addition to normal strab lectures that day)
Tuesday, Nov. 16th Strab Mgmnt @ 8am-8:50 (sorry about this one, I know we don't have lecture till 11am.....)
Wednesday, Dec 1st Strab Mgmnt @ 8am-8:50

So here's the perks to that: we don't have regular Strab lecture on the 17&18th of November (due to Academy)! YEah?
