The content of the course is provided through links to Video Presentations that were recorded as part of a three day on-site workshop. These links can be found on our Course Content page, along with links to supportive documentation such as Course Summaries and PowerPoint Handouts. You can view these presentations at your own pace, and review them as often as needed during the 90-day subscription period.
Once you have viewed the video presentations, you will need to take the 75-item multiple choice posttest to demonstrate successful achievement of the course objectives. You must score 70% or better to pass the course. If you score less than 70%, you can return to the video presentations to review any material you may have missed and retake the test as many times as needed.
When you are ready to take the test, go to our 16-Hr Glaucoma Case Management Course – Posttest page and follow the instructions provided. When you have passed the test, you will receive email confirmation that you have completed the course and can submit it to your accreditation agency to claim your CE units.
