Northwest Residents Conference | 2024

Come home to the Forest Grove Campus each June to learn from Pacific University College of Optometry residents affiliated with residency programs throughout North America.

The 2024 Northwest Residents Conference will feature a dual-track format designed to maximize your learning opportunities and flexibility. You'll now have the chance to earn up to 8.5 hours of COPE-accredited continuing education credits, with 4.5 hours available in person and an additional 4 hours online at a later date.

What to expect: A rapid-fire format provides the opportunity for each resident to deliver a 30-minute discussion on topics that may include cornea and contact lenses, geriatric optometry, ocular disease, pediatric optometry, primary eye care, refractive and ocular surgery, refractive and surgical co-management or vision therapy and rehabilitation.

We look forward to having you join us as we celebrate our Residents and their accomplishments.
