Feedback from anonymous survey:
Amazing topic and lecturer! Thank you for all the case studies. I really enjoyed the surveys and the detailed explanation by Dr. Lonsberry
Dr Offerdahl could make any topic interesting and fun. She’s so engaging and energetic (and of course knowledgeable). I really enjoy her lectures.
I enjoyed both lectures but Dr. Lonsberry's was fantastic and interactive which I appreciated.
This was a very informative pair of lectures that opened my eyes to things I didn't even think about. Great CE!
Very well done. Terrific lectures. Thanks so much!
Very informative, excellent speakers. Much needed refresher and new info learned!
The speakers are excellent! The visual format is clear. The sign up process and reminders are also well done. I learned a lot. Thank you! I am a new fan of Woo U.
I really enjoyed Dr. Ligthizer's way of presenting his cases, especially showing the video of pseudomembrane removal. The more videos, the more interesting the lectures.
Thank you for sharing your expertise and experience with oral medications.
Really enjoyed Dr Lighthizet’s interaction. Seemed less like a boring lecture . Please have him back again.
Dr. Ligthizer's lecture was wonderful and really helpful with the slides and case studies. I love the survey as a way to test my knowledge.
Learned so much in just 2 hours. Dr. Ligthizer's presentations are so easy to follow and not boring :}
Great information and photos/videos today, especially from Dr. Lighthizer
Dr. Whitley and Alleman was my favorite CE in a while! They instantly come off as reliable and caring practitioners. They were very easy to understand and covered every base I could hope for. Hope to see them again soon!
You did a wonderful job. Very excellent CE. Thanks for putting this on!
Excellent presentation by Dr Lighthizer—clinically relevant —video of membrane peel very helpful, never had one case like this in 4 years of optometry school. Thank you!
Best CE. Case studies made the difference.
Informative, very helpful. Love the cases assessment/management format.
Good video interface & effective speakers with applicable education for clinical settings.
Excellent material that was well presented. Love the convenience of weekend CE!
Dr. Lighthizer is excellent in this format. Good pace with excellent delivery on his key points. His well rounded comments on what drug therapy he chooses for a given condition are an excellent learning tool because it gives enough time to assimilate the knowledge.
