Physician accreditation statement
The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Health disparities exist within the U.S. health system for eye and vision care, and communities of color are most often the recipients of disparate care. Achieving health equity will require the examination of the social and environmental factors fueling these disparities and the coming together of researchers, clinicians and community leaders to implement solutions.
This conference is your opportunity to connect with those working to bring health equity to eye and vision care through leadership, research and community involvement.
