May 2021 Woo U Newsletter
Woo University has an action packed month, filled with five unique COPE approved CE events!
We are also excited to announce that two of these five CE events are hybrid, where local optometrists in Las Vegas will have the option to attend a live dinner event. These educational events offer the best of both worlds - in person CE for those who want to attend live and virtual streaming for those who choose to view the event from the comfort of their own home.
The remaining three events are entirely virtual. Please scroll down to view the details of each event. We hope to see you at a future event, whether in person or virtually!
