Humphries Physician Program Information
The Thirty-Seventh Annual Marion K. Humphries, Jr., MD Symposium
Conference Overview
The Humphries Symposium is dedicated to providing the clinical ophthalmologist with opportunities to increase knowledge and competence related to the most up-to-date diagnostic and therapeutic interventions and to reflect on how this information might lead to changes in their daily practice. This year the Humphries Symposium will emphasize uveitis. Recent studies indicated uveitis has the highest number of academic productivity and articles of any subspecialty in ophthalmology. It is extremely difficult to keep up with all of the information regarding uveitis. Debra A. Goldstein, MD, FRCSC, the Director of the Uveitis Service at Northwestern University, will be the keynote speaker. The Department of Ophthalmology Alumni, Faculty, and other guest speakers will augment Dr. Goldstein’s presentations with additional information and present research updates from their respective specialties.
*Due to the COVID-19 situation, this year’s Symposium will be a hybrid of some live presentations (which will be virtually accessible in real time) and virtual presentations.
