Primary Care Symposium

October 13, October 20, October 27 & November 10, 2026
Live Virtual Webinars | Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m.

The Wisconsin Optometric Association is excited to introduce a new virtual format for the 2026 Primary Care Symposium. In response to feedback from our members, this year's program has been redesigned to provide the flexibility of live virtual education while maintaining the high-quality, practice-focused continuing education you've come to expect from WOA.

Delivered over four Tuesday evenings, the symposium allows you to earn continuing education from the comfort of your home or office, eliminating the need for travel while making it easier to fit professional development into your schedule.

Practical Education for Everyday Practice

This year's symposium features clinically relevant topics designed to help you provide the highest level of patient care, including:

• Ocular nutrition and patient outcomes
• Documentation and coding strategies
• Nutrition and neuroprotection in athletes
• Age-related macular degeneration management
• Judicious prescribing of oral therapeutics
• Multimodal retinal imaging and retinal grand rounds

Each live webinar will provide practical, evidence-based information you can immediately incorporate into your practice.
