The Clinical Conference Series at University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics returns in September 2020 with a fantastic lineup of thought leaders in ophthalmology!
Based on COVID-19 safety precautions and feedback gathered from many of you, we are adjusting the day and method of delivery. Early season conferences will be held on Saturday mornings and conducted online using the Zoom meeting platform. Conference days and locations in March and April 2021 will be finalized as dates draw closer.
The series of clinical conferences sponsored by the Department of Ophthalmology presents updates information on a broad spectrum of clinical issues and approaches that are of value and interest to the practicing ophthalmologist.
