Tell your colleagues which interesting articles

you recommend, and find the content most

“I find the AAO Online Community to be extremely

helpful to me. The online message boards and

groups provide an easy-to-use ‘sounding board’ for

difficult or interesting cases to share with fellow

physicians, and the community really helps me to

stay connected with the academic world while

maintaining my private practice in a more rural

area of the country.”

— Eric Thomas, MD

“I like the ability to separate social networking

into the personal (Facebook) and the professional

(Academy Online Community). I’ve also had a few

conversations via the Academy Online Community

with residents I’ve never met. I would not have

‘friended’ someone I don’t know on Facebook, but

I’m happy to connect to a fellow ophthalmologist

here.”

— Ruth Williams, MD, Academy President-Elect

“I urge you to explore AAO.org and the new

interactive networking features. As someone

who highly values the opinion and input of my

ophthalmic colleagues, I know that my professional

experience will be vastly improved by the ability

to communicate and collaborate with peers in this

kind of dynamic, secure environment.”

website where hiring practices can post jobs and

job seekers can post resumes. The site has a new

look, better features and better navigation. It

offers a targeted, cost-effective, ophthalmologyspecific

resource to search for and fill open

positions for Eye M.D.s, registered nurses,

administrators and technicians. It is free for job

seekers. Hiring practices have an option to list

positions for 30, 60 or 90 days.

Ethics

ethical ophthalmologist series

The Ethical Ophthalmologist Series is a CME credit-bearing online educational activity addressing practical ethical issues in everyday practice.

Case studies illustrate common ethical dilemmas and possible resolution with emphasis on serving the best interests of each individual patient.

The courses are available on the ONE Network in an interactive format. Each individual course may be taken once in a 10-year MOC review

cycle and may be repeated in following years.

Code of Ethics

All members of the Academy agree to abide by

the Code of Ethics as a condition of continued

membership. Learn the principles and rules

governing the ethical practice of ophthalmology to

ensure that the best interests of patients are served.

The Code of Ethics is now available in Spanish:

El Código de Ética de la Academia Americana

de Oftalmología

2009

To download this free information, visit

www.aao.org/about/ethics.

Bettman Ethics Lecture Program

The Academy’s Ethics Committee offers a unique

ethics lecture program, developed as a practical

educational tool for both residents and practicing

ophthalmologists. In addition to providing a

practical view of everyday ethics, the lectures

generally qualify for ethics-specific CME credit for

certification and recertification and state licensure,

and they satisfy ACGME ethics requirements for

resident education.

www.aao.org/about/ethics.

Online Ethics Courses

Three ethics courses are available in an engaging

interactive format that require user responses to

ethical dilemmas before moving forward.

Published Oct. 2010; expires Oct. 2013.

Commercial Relationships,

Compensation and Advertising

For economic, social and political reasons, modes

of ophthalmic practice have changed drastically

in the last few years. Commercial relationships

of all varieties now abound. Many factors affect

levels of compensation. Advertising is seen as

a primary practice-building tool. What are the

threshold principles for the ethically responsible

ophthalmologist?

Informed Consent, Doctor-Patient

Relationship and Delegated

Services

Obtaining informed consent, engendering

physician-patient trust and delegating

duties appropriately are the traditional ethical

underpinnings of good health care. These ethical

concerns are central to the best interests of

the patient, and quality of service suffers if

these issues are not addressed.

Research, New Technology and

Collegiality

It is important to recognize the ethical issues

unique to research and the definition of innovative

therapies and standards of practice. At the same

time, promoting collegial interactions between

physicians helps the profession define and maintain

performance standards. How does the ethical

ophthalmologist do all this and focus on the best

interests of patients?

The Profession of Ophthalmology:

Practice Management, Ethics, and

Advocacy

Executive editor: David A. Durfee, MD

Insights and practical information to help practicing

ophthalmologists and ophthalmology residents

deliver care efficiently, ethically and effectively

are provided. Essential topics not often covered in

medical school are discussed, including financial

management, marketing, information technology,

professional development, real-life ethics

practice studies, how legislation affecting the

practice of ophthalmology is made and how each

ophthalmologist can make a difference. All chapters

have been revised to reflect recent changes,

including the gifts-from-industry case study and

advocacy topics such as scope of practice, pay

for performance and the association between the

Academy and state societies. This downloadable

PDF features easy navigation, search, hyperlinks to

references and websites, and a printable format.

“This fascinating project promotes a new

level of collaboration and information-sharing

among ophthalmologists. It pools the ophthalmic

community’s knowledge to create the best

possible up-to-date information. And it offers

the public a unique resource for in-depth clinical

information on eye conditions that complements

general patient information.”

— Aaron M. Miller, MD, EyeWiki Editor-in-Chief

“We’ll be working hard to ensure that this ‘living

textbook’ of our ophthalmic community reflects

the high standards of our profession while

maintaining the openness and simplicity of a wiki.

Thousands of ophthalmologists will soon be using

this resource as we care for our patients, and I

want to be sure the information we need is just

an EyeWiki search away.”

— Brad H. Feldman, MD, EyeWiki Deputy
