For a really creative approach, why not put together your own course
with local instructors. Just 5 hrs, one day, bag lunches, keep it
simple. Make a great course, open the doors to everyone, and of course,
get the courses pre-certified for OPS Credits!  This could be the start
of another local OPS Chapter.

Thanks,

Marshall

        Ben,  

         

        While the OPS has no control over where the Annual Program is
held in conjunction with AAO, we do have the ability to hold our
Mid-Year program where we'd like to.  In 2013 the Mid-Year program will
be held in San Francisco.  We'll be sure to announce the exact dates
once they are known.  You can see additional information about future
programs here:   

         

        http://www.opsweb.org/?page=futureprograms 

         

        Also, I have been under the impression that Chicago is a nice
central location that has easy flights to get to.  Perhaps, you can find
a way to attend the 2011 Annual program with just one flight.

         

        I hope this helps,

        Hi, A question for the powers that be. The AAO, thus the OPS,
will not be on the West Coast for some time to come. 5 units of the
total 15 must be from OPS or OPS approved classes. Some of us may not
want to part with the $$$ to go cross country to attend the meeting. So
we get to take online classes that are a total waste of time. Is it
possible that in the years that there is no West Coast OPS stuff that
attending more informative retina meetings or the like be o.k. for the
remaining 5 units just like they are o.k. for the first 10 units ? Could
this change be made ? Thanks, Ben Serar
