The Humphries Technician Program began in 1990 as a JCAHPO accredited supplement to the Department's Humphries Symposium Physician Program.
The Technician Program is hosted by the ophthalmic staff of the UVA Department of Ophthalmology and welcomes approximately 100 registrants each year. The program is held on a Saturday each September in conjunction with the physician program. The Technician Program is designed for ophthalmic technicians of all skill levels, nurses, photographers, orthoptists, and surgical assistants. Certification is not required to attend.
Each year lectures are designed to fit specific criteria for training Ophthalmic Medical Personnel in the newest technology and surgical techniques as well as review of core skills and knowledge. The one day program consists of 12 to 16 short lectures presented by the physicians and staff of the Department.
The Humphries Technician Program aims to offer five or more Group A JCAHPO credits and also seeks continuing education credits from OPS and AOC. A Certificate of Attendance is awarded to each participant at the end of the day.
Paid registrants are provided with a continental breakfast, coffee break, and a catered lunch.
