In addition, future presentations and publications will be developed based on the survey data and identified education needs in the coming year. T he 2019 ASCRS ASOA Annual Meeting marks the 7th annual ASCRS Clinical Survey. The 2019 survey builds on the success of prior surveys, in which thou- sands of ASCRS member ophthalmolo- gists participated. This year, ASCRS members can par- ticipate as early as April 15, or they can take the survey onsite during the Annual Meeting. While many surveys yield important data, the ASCRS Clinical Survey is unique in that it assess- es key clinical opinions and practice patterns of ASCRS members to guide ASCRS' educational activities. Participants will also be entered into a raffle for various prizes. The survey asks ASCRS members key ques- tions relating to current issues they regularly face. The goal is to obtain opinions and practice pat- terns from a significant percentage of the mem- bership. The ASCRS Clinical Committees then review and interpret the results and make recom- mendations for future educational programming. Many symposia at this year's meeting incorpo- rated data from prior surveys to develop content. The 2018 survey results were also used as crite- ria for driving more than 10 different ASCRS/ EyeWorld CME Educational Symposia at this year's Annual Meeting.
