PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 21. 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Thanks to Wills Eye Hospital's virtual education opportunities, doctors from every corner of the globe are now able to stay up to date on the latest advancements in ophthalmology while earning continuing medical education credits.
"Academic excellence and the continuous quest for knowledge are guiding principles at Wills Eye Hospital," said Joe Bilson, CEO. "We believe that offering ongoing education and sharing the knowledge and expertise of our esteemed medical staff helps us to not only live up to those principles, but to shepherd and advance the importance of ophthalmology in our world."
Throughout the academic year, health care providers are encouraged to stay abreast of the latest advancements and developments in ophthalmic medicine by attending Wills Eye Saturday Update courses and lived-streamed events that are presented by some of the world's leading ophthalmologists.
