SAOC Basics
What began an intensive review for military ophthalmology residents based in San Antonio has grown to be an internationally recognized course with more than 250 civilian and military attendees annually. Formerly known as the Brooke Army Medical Center Ophthalmology Review Course, it was founded in 1993 by William C. Lloyd III, MD, FACS.

This five-day instructional course provides a comprehensive overview of clinical ophthalmology for residents and practicing ophthalmologists. Specific emphasis is placed on assisting participants in organizing their individual studies relevant to the annual OKAP, American Ophthalmology Board examinations, and Maintenance Of Certificate (MOC). All lectures are delivered by board-certified ophthalmology teaching faculty. A comprehensive syllabus of all lecture outlines is provided to all registrants.

Accreditation

At the present time, the CME accreditation process for the 2012 SAOC has not yet been completed. While final approval is anticipated prior to the start of the course, it cannot be guaranteed. If Category 1 accreditation cannot be obtained, Category 2 (up to 36 credits) will be offered. Any changes in the accreditation status will be posted immediately to this website. Thank you for your patience.

Disclosure Policy
All faculty participating in the San Antonio Ophthalmology Course are expected to disclose to the S.A.O.C. audience any real or apparent conflict(s) of interest related to the content of their presentation(s). Full disclosure will be made from the podium, as well as within the program syllabus.

Special Notice to all Attendees
Due to restrictions imposed by new government regulations, the 2012 SAOC has undergone a fundamental restructuring. While the course content, speakers, and venue will remain essentially unchanged, significant modifications to other details, such as the course syllabus and refreshments, may be required. Nonetheless, every effort will be made to maximize the educational quality and experience for all participants.
