Date for your diary… Ophthalmic Genetics Study Club 2021 Meeting

Thursday, November 11th, 2021

Dear Friends and Colleagues

We would like to invite you to participate in the upcoming Ophthalmic Genetics Study Club (OGSC) to precede the meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear OGSC member, friend and colleague, Marilyn Miller, MD. This year’s meeting is dedicated to her in memoriam. To that effect we have also invited Dr. Arlene Drack to give a scientific presentation to honor Dr. Miller.

This year again the meeting will be virtual and will be managed by the webmaster of ISGEDR, Geoff Cross from Harrogate, England.

The meeting will start at 9:00 am US Eastern time and will end at 4:30 pm with an hour break for lunch at noon. This will allow for 6.5 hours of presentations. We will restrict the number of presentations to four per hour, to include 10 minutes for the case/study presentation and 5 minutes for discussion. This makes for a total of 26 presentations. Priority will be given to those who have presented previously but have not reached the required three presentations to achieve full member status. Additional presentations will be selected from the remaining submitted titles.

Please note:

  1. Submission of titles will close on October 22nd (Friday). Please send the titles of your presentations to Sandy Wong (wongs1@ccf.org) at your earliest convenience and before the deadline.
  2. Presenters will be notified before October 29th of the acceptance and time of their papers.
  3. Registration will be open until November 7th (Sunday). You can register for the meeting through the ISGEDR website at ISGEDR.com.
  4. Please note that you can register whether you are presenting or not. Registration opens October 1st (Friday)

 We very much look forward to another successful get together!
