The family-friendly conference, being held at the El Conquistador Resort in Puerto Rico, will promote women in the field, according to founder and program director Bonnie An Henderson, MD.
EnVision Summit Ophthalmology, being held in February at the El Conquistador Resort in Puerto Rico, is an annual conference created by physicians to support and empower women leaders in an innovative format for continuing medical education.
Bonnie An Henderson, MD, founder and program director, pointed out that the event is designed with female ophthalmologists in mind.
“The agenda is robust, with a predominance of female speakers who are trailblazers in medicine and leadership,” she said. “You will have unique opportunities to meet and discuss issues of clinical importance, develop mentoring relationships, and facilitate collaborations for research investigations. With panel discussions, keynote presentations, and casual conversations, EnVision Summit convenes a diverse group of visionaries to inspire us and the next generation of leaders.”
She pointed out that in contrast to other medical conferences, EnVision Summit goes beyond being family-friendly.
“We welcome you to bring your child to the conference to participate in age-appropriate activities and programs, designed specifically for them,” she explained. “Teens and young adults will have the opportunity to participate in a conference that features women leaders. We understand the challenges of advancing your career while juggling the demands of your personal life. EnVision Summit lies at the intersection.”
Attendees can both earn AMA PRA Category 1 Credits and reconnect with industry colleagues and partners to help advance women in the ophthalmology profession.
Each of the conference days is chock full of learning opportunities. All times are in Eastern Standard Time.
