Survey results are coming in and early demographic responses show that women currently outnumber male respondents by a 60/40 split. In practice setting results, University Hospital is running neck-and-neck with Private Retina Practices for the most responses. The largest age group is 45-54 and respondents with more than 20 years experience outnumber all other groups by a huge margin. We expect to see those numbers change as more responses come in. If your demographic isn't well represented in these numbers, make sure you participate in the survey. Encourage your colleagues to do the same! tim Timothy J.

It is a great tool for them too. Don't forget to spread the word about the survey and remember those techs that do photography only once in a while. This is for everyone that performs any type of imaging of the eyes; fundus photography, OCT, ultrasound, adaptive optics... You name it! Also, don't forget those people at remote offices that you do not see on a daily basis. We like to hear from them too. It would be cool if we could be more than 500 entries and we are already over half way there. Keep them coming. Thanks, Kirsten Kirsten Locke, RN, CRA, FOPS.
