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. Conferences will be held on Saturday mornings and conducted online using the Zoom meeting platform.
