Prepare with Confidence - Study with the Experts

Who will benefit?

  • Time-limited certificate holders who plan to take the ABO’s DOCK examination in the near future.
  • Practicing ophthalmologists who wish to attend a course to review their clinical knowledge.

What's the course objective?

  • To prepare time-limited certificate holders for successful completion of the ABO’s Demonstration of Ophthalmic Cognitive Knowledge (DOCK) exam in Core Ophthalmic Knowledge and one or two practice emphasis areas (PEAs) of their choice.
  • To provide a review of clinically relevant ophthalmic knowledge and information for all ophthalmologists interested in improving quality of patient care.

What about course materials?

Course attendees will receive bound photocopies of the slides and questions presented at the course. For those interested in other study resources the MOC Exam Study Kit™ is now FREE to members and available exclusively online.
