2023 ASCRS ANNUAL MEETING PREVIEW PROGRAM | 21 ASOA PROGRAM GENERAL INFORMATION Featuring exceptional education within a nurturing, comfortable environment, this meeting transforms the educational experience into an extraordinary peer-to- peer knowledge-sharing event. Attendees consistently rank the American Society of Ophthalmic Administrators (ASOA) programming as best in class. The hands-on learning opportunities, interactive session formats, and depth of topic coverage provide attendees a rich, expansive learning experience that yields insights and information to improve business practices and the patient experience from beginning to end. ASOA empowers ophthalmic leaders to elevate the business of ophthalmology through education, innovation, support, and collaboration. This year, ASOA offers more than 70 educational courses covering an array of topics essential to effective practice management. These topics include coding, reimbursement, leadership and strategic management, human resources, health information technology, marketing and business development, and many other strategies for successful practice management. This Preview Program lists courses by knowledge pathway, providing practice leaders with an effective way to educate staff on topics that directly affect their work.
