Out Crowd Enjoys
Some 150 opticians from Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island recently attended OpticalCEU's Annual Spring Seminar at The MGM Grand Hotel/Casino at Foxwoods. On the fine, April 29th morning, they listened as Linda Conlin, Deborah Kotob, and Jean Davidson presented ABO- and NCLE-approved optical courses. They earned seven continuing education credits, which they will put towards their license requirements as well as their ABO/NCLE accreditation. This year OpticalCEUs improved the classroom environment with more comfortable seating and improved audio-visual. This follows last year's addition of a three-course, banquet hot lunch catered by the fine chefs at the MGM Grand.

Fall Continuing S At the end of each seminar, ABO/NCLE asks attendees to evaluate it based on four questions: Did the course further your knowledge/skill, were the learning expectations of the course met, was the course a worthwhile investment of time, was the course presented without specific product bias, would you recommend this course, and finally was the instructor organized and informative. As you can see from just one course, “In the Beginning: Embryonic Eye Development,” the presenters at the OpticalCEU's 2011 Spring Conference for Continuing Education succeeded as far as attendees were concerned.
