About This Show
AI-drafted summaryOSN New York (part of the combined OSN New York & Retina Meeting) is an annual continuing medical education (CME) conference for eye care professionals held each fall in Manhattan. The meeting offers the opportunity for comprehensive ophthalmologists and retina specialists to earn CME credits, learn from and ask questions to a renowned faculty, interact with peers and gather industry updates in the exhibit hall.
It is a CME meeting for 400+ comprehensive ophthalmologists that occurs annually in New York City, covering medical, surgical and subspecialty updates across the full range of ophthalmology, coupled with the expert perspective needed to increase confidence and apply to practice immediately to improve patient care. The parallel OSN New York Retina track focuses on retinal disease, imaging, drugs and devices, and practice management.
The audience is primarily practicing ophthalmologists, retina specialists, fellows, residents and students, along with industry exhibitors. Nationally-renowned experts offer solutions to questions that many comprehensive ophthalmologists have on both routine and challenging patient care issues, providing the right perspective and tools needed for success so attendees can return home better equipped to treat patients with greater confidence. Its central Manhattan location makes it a convenient, high-value destination for practitioners across the Northeast and beyond.
