To help you align OVC 2021’s educational opportunities with your individual learning goals, the conference program has been added to Optometry Australia’s Institute of Excellence for you to plan accordingly within your built-in Learning Plan. You can also register to attend OVC 21 via our Institute of Excellence.
When you watch a live keynote presentation or on-demand activity and complete the associated optional assessment component, your clinical and therapeutic-classified CPD hours will be automatically recorded in your Learning Plan.

Take e-notes during webcast to cut and paste into Learning Plan

During each live webcast you attend, we encourage you to take electronic notes and save these onto your computer, so that you can simply cut and paste these reflections into your Learning Plan at the end of each webcast or at the end of the conference.

To reinforce that you are accessing the best education possible, all courses on the official program have been quality-assured by Optometry Australia’s Institute of Excellence.

All delegates can also access additional educational webcasts delivered by optometric suppliers throughout the conference. You will need to add these individually to your Learning Plan.
