| | | | Providing Post-Graduate Education As educational standards became increasingly clarified, it became obvious to Academy members and leaders alike that the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Oto-laryngology needed to provide instruction courses of its own.
During the Annual Meeting of the AAOO in 1921, the Academy introduced the concept of formal instruction. The format of the Annual Meeting was changed to accommodate the courses. The six-day meeting was split, with the first three days devoted to the meeting and the second three devoted to post-graduate instruction. The concept of formal instruction courses is a cornerstone of continuing medical education today. |
