Skills transfer course: Oculoplastics for the comprehensive ophthalmologist

Saturday June 7
0800-1000
or
1045-1215
Dalhousie Skills Centre for Health Sciences

Objectives
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Describe ophthalmic surgical procedures
• Participate in cadaver surgical procedure techniques
• Understand common surgical principles in Ophthalmic surgery

This course is designed for comprehensive ophthalmologists who want to review common surgical techniques in oculoplastics such as the lateral tarsal strip procedure for ectropion/entropion repair, wedge resection for excisional biopsy and lid reconstruction, punctoplasty and canalicular repair. Surgical grade cadavers will be used to review lid and lacrimal anatomy and to review basic principles for each technique. Attendees will have the opportunity to obtain hands-on experience to practice these techniques with oculoplastics instructors.
