HI All,
Over the years I have read many posts discussing how to repair, clean,
jerry-rig, and even build ophthalmic equipment….
Recent discussion case in point: "Prudence suggests dismantling the
OIS 5.0 capturing head inverting it, and blowing it on the
undersurface with compressed air,… re-assemble... " Jim Soque
From my observation, most of these discussions were written and
responded to by the male gender in our field. Maybe I am wrong in this
impression.
Scientific Session idea: Exploration into the differences gender plays
in the ophthalmic practice. Is there a difference in work values,
tasks performed etc? How many women vs men in our profession?
Obviously, we want to avoid women/men are better than the other.
Big topic. Lots of directions here. Could be a PhD topic really…but a
basic look into are there differences, and what do they look like
could be a good start.
Any takers?
See these journal for ideas.
