Course Description
(2 day course -- 14 hours Continuing Education)
Prerequisites: Completion of core curriculum courses
For: Optometrists
The Baltimore Academy for Behavioral Optometry Continuing Seminar (BABO
CS) is for those colleagues
who have completed the core
curriculum offered by BABO, which includes the four courses: The Art
& Science
of Optometric Care—A Behavioral
Perspective (BVC), VT/Visual Dysfunctions (VT-I), VT/Learning
Related Visual
Problems (VT-II), and
VT/Strabismus & Amblyopia (VT-III). This course will be run in a
seminar format. Our field
is in a state of constant
evolution. Completion of the core courses at one point in time does
not mean that one’s
education is complete. To remain
current in our field requires dedication to life-long learning. As
you have already
invested heavily in the BABO
Curriculum, one way to continue your life-long learning and to
reinsure your investment
in your education is to
periodically attend the BABO CS to find out what’s new, to be
involved in high level case
presentations, and to have your
questions answered in-depth. This is also a time to work as a group
on resolving
some of the difficult to learn
topics covered in the core courses. Time will also be spent in
working on pre-submitted
questions from the attendees.
Often, some areas that were covered in the core courses are
reinforced with additional
examples of clinical techniques
that strengthen the participants’ understanding and clinical
insights. It is recommended
that this course be attended
once every two years to keep up with all the happenings in the field
of behavioral
vision care. This course will be
continually updated to keep everyone as up to date as possible.
