Cope Courses

Project Based Consulting

The number one reason that OD’s may not refer to you, is because they don’t KNOW you. The second reason that OD’s don’t refer, is that they simply don’t understand the technology available today. Some are old school and only remember the days of RK, non-astigmatic correction and unproven results. As a certified COPE Administrator, I can not only assist in the development of various OD seminars, but I can submit them to ARBO for approval and help your staff organize the event. It is ideal, however, to have a member of your staff, or you, become an ARBO administrator. Once there is an administrator on staff, he/she can submit courses on their own.

The following are a small sample OD seminars that can be developed and are well attended:

• Oculoplastics
• LASIK technology (PRK vs Microkeratome vs Bladeless and laser types (AMO, Technolas, Zeiss, etc.)
• Comanagement – LASIK and/or Cataract
• Glaucoma
• Visian ICL
• IOL’s

With most of the CE programs, an invitation to attend by one of the sales reps can reduce the cost. i.e. Have a representative from Staar at a Visian ICL meeting and they can generally assist with some of the costs.

Subject material ideas can be included, but the content is based on the technology and specialty of the surgeon. If an outside MD is brought in for the seminar, the cost for their services is not included in the price.
