This one-of-a-kind professional network gives Academy members worldwide a way to connect with each other in a unique, secure environment. This community is available only to member ophthalmologists, so you can share information among your peers free from the presence of pharmaceutical reps, patients or the public.
10
By combining the Academy’s unmatched clinical resources with a community full of collaborative opportunities, AAO.org is the online destination where all of ophthalmology connects.
Start Connecting Join the conversation by visiting www.aao.org/ community and logging in with your existing Academy username and password.
Need Help Getting Started? Links to quick how-to guides are available via the community home page. If you have questions, need help or want to share feedback, send an e-mail to [email protected]
Community Features Connect Build new relationships with colleagues from within your subspecialty or reconnect and stay in touch with old friends in alumni groups. Consult Run challenging clinical cases by your colleagues by starting a discussion in the relevant community group and add videos or photos, tag the post as a question or include a poll.

“While Facebook serves its purpose, the new Academy Online Community is a much more useful place for professionals to stay connected with colleagues old and new, find answers to questions in a safe online environment and share information.” — Brad H. Feldman, 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, Secretary for Member Services “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.” — David W. Parke II, MD, Academy Executive Vice President and CEO
EyeWiki™
In our ongoing effort to help ophthalmologists around the world deliver the best possible eye care, the Academy — in close collaboration with several subspecialty and special interest societies — has recently launched EyeWiki. Just like the collaborative online encyclopedia Wikipedia, EyeWiki can be viewed and modified using any Web browser. More than 100 articles are currently available covering topics in each subspecialty. Most articles include information on the eye condition, diagnosis and management, plus references, resources and images or video. While only ophthalmologists and ophthalmologists in training can contribute to EyeWiki, anyone can access this rich educational resource. No special software or skills are required. Just register, write, add images or videos, then hit “save” and “post.” Access EyeWiki at www.aao.org/eyewiki. For more information, contact [email protected]

“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 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 Editor-in-Chief

Commercial Relationships, Compensation and Advertising For economic, social and political reasons, modes of ophthalmic practice have changed drastically in the last few years.

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.

How do you know if your materials are current? • Download a patient education checklist from www.aao.org/patiented/audit. • Visit the Academy website at www.aao.org/ patientedproducts to review a full line of peer-reviewed patient education materials. • Visit OMIC’s website at www.omic.com to ensure that you have the most current OMIC informed consent documents.

Public Service EyeCare America Since 1985, EyeCare America programs have made a difference to more than one million individuals’ lives.
