Workshops provide valuable hands-on learning opportunities. If you’re attending AAO 2026 this October, join us on 9 October, 1:30-4:30 PM, US Central Time, for our ورشة عمل لمربّي العيون – أدوات عبر الإنترنت للتعلم التفاعلي في طب العيون, co-sponsored by the Ophthalmology Foundation and the American Academy of Ophthalmology. This symposium has been approved for CME credits. This symposium is free for registered attendees.
Our symposium aims to empower participants to elevate their teaching skills by harnessing the power of interactivity and collaborative exercises through innovative online tools. It will feature thought-provoking discussions on concepts, group activities, and immersive, hands-on demonstrations of online tools specifically designed to ignite cognitive engagement, enhance collaboration, stimulate vibrant participation, and facilitate the real-time assessment of learners. Participants will be able to utilize these tools, which resonate deeply with today’s dynamic generation of learners in ophthalmology education.
