ASCRS completes third annual Clinical Survey
More than 2,000 members responded with clinical opinions and practice
patterns to help drive the future of ASCRS education
Survey Overview
The third annual ASCRS Clinical Survey
was performed both at the ASCRS•ASOA
Symposium & Congress in San Diego and
via electronic follow-up surveys to the
ASCRS membership. More than 2,000
physicians responded to this survey, which
included 174 questions that created 485
unique measurable data elements. Survey
questions were developed and reviewed
with the ASCRS Clinical Committees and
validated by a social science statistician.
The survey asked ASCRS members key
questions relating to current issues they
face on a regular basis. With 2,047
responses, a significant percentage of
the membership was represented, and
the results were reviewed and interpreted
by the ASCRS Clinical Committees.
While many surveys provide important data
for our profession, most are not used to drive
specific educational efforts aimed at improving
the practice of medicine and assessing key
clinical opinions. This is the objective behind
the annual ASCRS Clinical Survey.
In addition to this exclusive overview
supplement, please watch for articles in
upcoming issues of EyeWorld and the
Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery
that will feature important detailed analysis
of this data and commentary on key trends
and gaps highlighted in the coming pages.
