The call for education course proposals is now closed.
Check back in May 2023 for information about next year's call.
The Education Course programming is meant to:
- introduce learners to a specific area of research
- teach new research skills or enhance and expand existing ones
- offer in-depth review and discussion of a research issue from a fair and balanced perspective.
Courses should supplement, not replicate, content normally presented during the Annual Meeting.
The ARVO Annual Meeting will take place earlier than usual in 2023. Courses will be held in person on Saturday, April 22, 2023, at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, in New Orleans, La.
