Humphries Technician Program
The Humphries Technician Program began in 1990 as a JCAHPO accredited supplement to the Department’s Humphries Physician Program. The Technician Program is hosted by the ophthalmic staff of the UVA Department of Ophthalmology and welcomes approximately 100 registrants each year. The Program is held in conjunction with the physician program and designed for all Ophthalmic Medical Personnel (OMP) including Ophthalmic Assistants, Technicians, Technologists, Photographers, Orthoptists, Nurses, and other personnel. Certification is not required to attend.
Each year lectures are designed to fit specific criteria for training Ophthalmic Medical Personnel in the newest technology and surgical techniques as well as review of core skills and knowledge. The one day program consists of 10 to 12 short lectures presented by the physicians and staff of the Department.

The Technician Program aims to offer five or more Group A JCAHPO credits. A Certificate of Attendance is awarded to each participant at the end of the day. If you will be arriving late or leaving early and will not be attending for the full day credits, we will need to take your name and email in order to send your certificate to you. It will take about 1-2 weeks after the symposium to verify and process. You must sign the attendance sheet and be present at the lecture to receive full credit.
