A message that arrived by e mail from AAO President Bob Newcomb. He wrote...



"Here in Ohio, the days are growing shorter, temperatures are cooler, and pumpkins can be found everywhere. There is no doubt that something great is coming, the early registration deadline for Academy 2002 in San Diego! If you register by November 1, you can save $50.



Academy 2002 in San Diego is already one of the best values in optometric continuing education. Our annual meeting, which is scheduled this year for December 12-15, offers practitioners, researchers, educators and students the most up-to-date information about state-of-the-art developments in vision research and optometric practice. This year's theme, Caring for Patients with Diabetes, will address the key issues that optometrists confront as the incidence of diabetes reaches epidemic proportions in the United States and around the world. More than 4000 practicing optometrists, vision scientists, optometric educators, and optometry students attend the Academy's annual meetings. For 2002, we've introduced several changes to make our meeting even better than before. We will offer:

A 4-day conference with more than 200 hours of COPE approved CE credit
A format that encourages you to select courses and lectures to complement your own personal learning style
The latest information on diabetes, which you can immediately apply in your practice
And we will continue to offer:
One of the profession's best networking opportunities.
A tradition of excellence
A varied and comprehensive menu of courses, workshops, symposia, section meetings, and posters
Don't miss this great opportunity to expand your knowledge, sharpen your clinical skills, see old friends and meet new ones, and have a great time while doing it all. November 1 will be here before you know it, so make plans now to attend Academy 2002 in beautiful San Diego."



Robert D. Newcomb, OD, MPH, FAAO

President 2001-2002, American Academy of Optometry
