Your Practice, Our Passion

I’ve only been in Ophthalmology for 15 months so I have a lot to learn. EyeMail has helped so much just watching and reading on the various topics. ASOA is excellent. I previously worked a lot with another organization in Primary Care but since transitioning into Ophthalmology, I have found that ASOA is better than anything I could have even hoped for from an education and support perspective. I’m thankful.

I cut my ophthalmic teeth in technical ophthalmology.  When it became obvious that my ophthalmic career path was destined for administration, I joined ASOA. Originally, I did this to learn the unique skill set needed for administration that my scientific education and background had not addressed. Later, as risk management and regulatory compliance started consuming increasing amounts of administrator time, our board saw ASOA as the mechanism for me to keep abreast of developments in these areas.  ASOA has not disappointed. In addition, however, ASOA has provided me with the tools for career growth, leadership opportunities, professional networking and life-long friendships.

I’ve been a part of the ASOA for 3 years now. This organization has tons of resources available to me as an administrator! It opened the door for me to network with other successful leaders nationally. The meetings are packed full of tools and relevant knowledge each year. Joining this organization helped me to achieve a long-term goal of obtaining the COE. Join today! Leaders are better together!

ASOA has held a pivotal role throughout my 22-year career in the ophthalmic business.  We are fortunate to have the knowledge and expertise of ASOA at our fingertips.  ASOA provides a solid backbone for our practice. Our membership allows us to concentrate on the daily tasks that keep us beyond busy in our practices, while still having a pulse on what is going on in the industry.  ASOA works endlessly to keep us abreast of the latest happenings in our field.  The fact that ASOA is made up of our colleagues educating and supporting one another, ensures the enrichment of our careers and our ophthalmic offices. I was fortunate, early on, to work under an administrator that realized the value of ASOA and the value of education. When she turned the reigns over to me and retired, I was very prepared for my new role because of our long-term relationship with ASOA.
