The New Jersey Academy of Ophthalmology mission is to advocate the uniqueness of the profession of ophthalmology by educating both its members and the public in order to enable ophthalmologists to provide the highest quality of service to the public. The New Jersey Academy of Ophthalmology is the only organization of ophthalmologists in the state.
Ophthalmic education is a primary goal of our society as stated in our bylaws.
The New Jersey Academy of Ophthalmology is responsible for the ophthalmic education of all ophthalmologists in the state, as well as pediatricians, family practitioners, internists and emergency care physicians involved in primary eyecare and treatment. The CME committee will work with the membership to provide quality education programs throughout the year. This will include lectures, symposia, and hands-on workshops and will be accomplished using visiting professors and local experts in their respective fields. The CME committee is also responsible for meeting the needs of ophthalmic education to all medical practitioners involved in ophthalmic care and will provide programs for other specialties in ophthalmic topics pertaining to their areas of interest.
