Join the largest online community for ophthalmologists, now available at AAO.org. 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. Share Share your clinical pearls with your colleagues, write a blog, post pictures and upload videos.

“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.

The use of digital media files for encoding audio and video for distribution to PCs and home entertainment devices has exploded in recent years. However, along with that explosion is a lot of complexity.

Digital copies make reading, printing, and distributing content simple! With Group’s Digital Download Center, you can quickly and easily download and view content, and send it to your team. Many Group programs also allow you to edit lesson materials to fit your needs. Whether it’s Texterity’s iPhone portal or the folks at Nxtbook who worked with us in producing the Publishing Business pre-show planner, I’ve always enjoyed my conversations with these folks, but I still need to be sold on a solid business model. The Publishing Business Conference this year is having a Digital Magazine Symposium.
Digital Media File Confusion
The proliferation of a multitude of different audio, video, and still image digital file formats has caused a lot of confusion as not all formats will play on all devices.
To put it bluntly, you may have connected a PC or media server to your network media player (or media streamer or Smart TV with a media player app) via your home network, but you find that you can't play some of your stored audio or video files, or worse yet, some of your files don't even appear in your available music, video, or still image list. The reason they may not appear that those media files are in a format that your digital media playback device can't play. It simply cannot understand that type of file.
What Are Digital Media File Formats?
When you save a digital file, it is encoded so that computer programs or apps can read and work with it. For example, document formats can be read and edited in word-processing programs such as Microsoft Word. Photo formats can be read by photo-editing applications like Photoshop, and by such photo-organizing programs like Windows Photo Viewer and Photos For MAC. Many video formats—including camcorder and DVD files, Quicktime files, Windows videos, and numerous high-definition formats—must be converted to be played by programs other than the software for which they were originally created or saved. These file formats are also called 'codecs,' short for “coder-decoder.”
Converting a file so that it can be played by another program, or by a previously incompatible device, is called 'transcoding'. Some computer media server programs can be set to automatically transcode media files that are otherwise incompatible with your digital media playback device or software.
What Is the Difference Between File Formats?
Photos, music, and movies are naturally different formats. But within those categories, since there is no standardization, there is further variation.
For example, photos are frequently saved in RAW, JPEG, or TIFF formats. Saving a photo in the TIFF format preserves the best quality of the photo but it’s a huge file. This means that if you use TIFFs you will fill up your hard drive with fewer photos than if you use another format like JPEG. JPEG formats compress the file—they squeeze it down and make it smaller—so you can fit a lot more JPEG photos on your hard drive.

The file type or 'kind' of file will be listed here.
