Abayomi Fabunmi, MD, a resi- dent at Case Western Reserve-Cleve- land Medical Center, said, "This is my third time coming to this meet- ing because it's phenomenal.

The educational offerings are adjusted each year to ensure the in- tional program is designed to in- crease exposure to advanced cataract training for young eye surgeons.

"One of the most exciting parts of the program is the wet lab opportunities," said past attendee Lindsay Machen, MD, a resident at the University of Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary. "Being able to practice what we've learned [in the lectures] is going to be exceptional."
