Maintenance of Certification – We Need Your Input

To: North Carolina Ophthalmologists

At the 2015 annual meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology there was a discussion of the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) requirement by the AAO Council. In a breakout session of state society representatives, there was a discussion with the Academy’s CEO, Dr. David Parke II, about MOC and there was consensus that a poll of ophthalmologists on the subject would be helpful.

The NCSEPS is therefore participating in a state-by-state poll to gain insight into ophthalmologists’ views on MOC and we are seeking your input. Please participate in the online survey which can be accessed at:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OPHMOC16

Please be sure to respond by Monday, January 18, at 11:59pm.

Thank you for your participation.

Managing Online Reputation in a Busy Healthcare Practice Webinar, January 19

Managing Online Reputation in a Busy Healthcare Practice

featuring
Janet M. Kennedy

North Carolina Medical Society Foundation, in cooperation with the North Carolina Medical Group Managers, invites you to join us to continue the discussion of social media in health care. Managing your professional and practice reputation has become much more challenging in the age of the internet. A difference of one star in an online review has been shown to impact revenue potential from 5% to 9%. There’s more to reputation management than having a LinkedIn profile (although that’s important). In this webinar, Get Social Health social media coach Janet Kennedy will walk you through the basics of establishing, maintaining and protecting the online reputation of your practice and providers.

*Time will be reserved for questions and answers within the last fifteen minutes of the presentation.

Tuesday, January 19, 2015 ~ 12:00 pm to 1:00pm
