T he 6th annual ASCRS Clinical Survey will be hosted at the ASCRS•ASOA Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. The survey is an opportunity for member ophthalmologists to weigh in on their practice patterns and opinions and drive the future of ASCRS educational programming. Data from the survey helps identify areas of educational need for future ASCRS meetings, webinars, publications, and other offerings to provide ASCRS members with the most targeted and valuable content with the ultimate goal of improving patient care. Topics covered by the survey include cataract surgery, astigmatism management, presbyopia correction, laser-assisted cataract surgery, ocular surface, inflammation and infection, corneal refractive surgery, glaucoma, retina, and young physicians. Last year more than 1,100 members took the survey, generating more than 300 unique data elements. After the results are analyzed by ASCRS Clinical Committees, key findings from the ASCRS Clinical Survey will be published in an EyeWorld supplement this fall. The results from the ASCRS Clinical Survey identify areas of educational need and track trends in specific opinions and behaviors. In the ASCRS Clinical Survey 2017 EyeWorld supplement, Rosa Braga-Mele, MD, chair, ASCRS Education Committee, emphasized the importance of member participation in this initiative. "Participation in these surveys ensures that education is formatted to the needs of our membership coupled with direction from experts in the field," Dr. Braga-Mele said. "The results of this survey help ASCRS to enhance membership learning and provide members the opportunity to see how they compare with their peers."
