2020 ISEPS Virtual Town Hall
Ophthalmology in the Age of Covid-19

The Illinois Society of Eye Physicians & Surgeons is pleased to host our first-ever "Virtual Town Hall" for the ophthalmic community in our state.  We all are painfully aware of the massive challenges facing all of us -- as individuals, as physicians and as practice managers -- while we navigate our way through the coronavirus pandemic.

We've all been inundated with webinars, Zoom meetings, and emails with the goal of "helping" us get through the year.  The goal for the ISEPS Virtual Town Hall is to focus on succinct and timely nuggets geared toward providing you with useful information for you and your practice.
