Optometry Victoria /South Australia (OV/SA) has announced the program for Southern Regional Congress (SRC), which returns as a virtual education conference in place of the now cancelled O=MEGA21 trade show.
To be held from 2–4 September, SRC will still give optometrists their required CPD hours. Participants will receive up to 23.5 CPD hours (with assessment), including up to 14.5T hours (with assessment) and up to 8.5i hours (with assessment).
Pete Haydon, CEO of OV/ SA, said this will not be an ordinary online conference.
Hosted by Cassandra Haines and Sophie Koh, OV/SA is working closely with production company Scene Change who worked on last year’s Blue Sky conference, to produce the event,” he said. See this video for a hint of what’s to come.
