Some time ago when I was on the OPS-BOD I compiled a list of institutions who provide training in Ophthalmic Photography. Barbara keeps this list and I believe it is also available on the OPS web site. I am still looking for new venues of courses in ophthalmic imaging. If someone knows of a place or a meeting which is not listed by the OPS please inform us. Thank you Peter Peter L. Breit, CRA.

I too have had similar encounters with all sorts of photographers - amateur to pro - and invariably they all ask how did you get into the field? What kind of specialized education is needed? How much training is provided? etc... So, to offer an intern program would certainly be advantageous for growth. Maybe the OPS website or the PDC could establish a link that enable interested ones to fill out an online 'interest form' providing a little bio of themselves and then wait to be contacted by an OPS member that could mentor them. I for one would volunteer in the Nutmeg state; Connecticut. Robert G. Shutt, CRA, OCT-C 354 Clear View Ave Torrington CT 06790
