The program faculty includes several members of the YES Clinical Committee. The YES Clinical Com- mittee was established to serve as a resource for timely information for the young ophthalmology member- ship of ASCRS. "The ASCRS YES ACT meeting provides a unique opportunity to supplement a young surgeon's surgi- cal skill set, encompassing didactics focused on advanced surgical tech- niques and technology, as well as thorough hands-on experience with a wet lab that includes femtosecond laser experience and astigmatism management with corneal relaxing incisions," said Elizabeth Yeu, MD, Virginia Eye Consultants, Norfolk, Virginia. Dr. Yeu is chair of the YES Clinical Committee. The YES ACT program held in March in New York was such a success that ASCRS will be holding another weekend program this fall. The fall YES ACT program is being held September 24–25 in Denver at the Denver Marriott City Center. The program chairs for YES ACT Denver are Dr. Yeu and Terry Kim, MD, Duke University Eye Cen- ter, Durham, North Carolina.
