California Optometric Association Introduces CE@HomeOnline

Sacramento, CA — The California Optometric Association (COA) is constantly looking for innovative ways to help optometrists in California help their patients.

For this reason, COA has launched CE@HomeOnline — an online version of the popular CE@Home articles in its award-winning member magazine, California Optometry. CE@HomeOnline will feature six high-quality educational articles throughout the year, each offering 1 continuing education unit (CEU). Formatted just like CE@Home articles in the magazine, the Online articles are accessed through www.coavision.org.

The tentative 2011 schedule for CE@HomeOnline is:

February 1, 2011 -- Low Vision Examination of the Diabetic Patient
April 1, 2011 – Traumatic Brain Injury
June 1, 2011 – Dry Eye
August 1, 2011 – Kids’ Vision
October 3, 2011 – Vision Therapy
December 1, 2011 – Glaucoma


Fees for CE@HomeOnline for 2011 are per article $15 for COA members and $35 for non-members. Subscriptions for the full year (all six articles) are $60 for COA members and $180 for non-members. The deadline for a 2011 subscription is April 1, 2011.



For more information on CE@HomeOnline and to subscribe, visit www.coavision.org/cehome.
