Hosts Nate Bonilla-Warford, OD and Mitchell Jackson, MD talk about the upcoming Power Forum 3, brought to you by Marco Technologies. 

As part of the Marco@50 anniversary celebration. Marco is hosting the Power Forum III at the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting Friday, November 10th.

LOCATION: ‘Bourbon Vieux’ is an event venue in the heart of the French Quarter of NOLA. This second floor setting has all the original old world character of New Orleans, with the largest wrap-around balcony in the quarter.

By special request, we have a special treat for this episode. Sue Corwin, who has been with Marco for 25 years and serves as the Director of Training and Education talks with Dr. Nate Bonilla-Warford about two subjects. 

The first segment is the Marco Institute of Vision Technology, a multi-day training at Marco's headquarters in Jacksonville, FL. Sue and other instructors cover the how, but more importantly the why, behind manual and automated refraction. Attendees come from all over the world for this training. 

The second segment covers many of the convenient tips that doctors and staff may have forgtten or did not full grasp when learning how to refract with the TRS-5100 automated refraction system. Trust us, this is one that you do not want to miss!

Thank you to Sue for taking the time from her teaching schedule to share these insights with us. If you have questions, you can reach Sue at Marco's headquarters at 1-800-874-5274 x 142. 

This episode brings a new voice to the Critical Issues in Eye Care podcast -  students. 

Nate Bonilla-Warford, OD met with four students who are all in their 2nd or 3rd year of training at the Illinois College of Optometry. 

• Kristin Elise Dzierwa
• Alex Wiss
• Aaron Nichols
• Brandon Zeeben

The discussion was real and lively. Some of the topics that were discussed were:

• Are they getting enough training for business ownership
• What do students think about eyecare provider supply?
• How important is it to specialize?
• What is their 5 to 10 year outlook?
• What are the pros and cons of optometric residency?
• How do students perceive advanced technology and electronic records
• What do students worry about regarding the future of optometry?
• What about student debt?
• How do they communicate with practicing doctors?
• What advice would they give undergrads considering eye care?
• What, as millennials, would they tell older doctors?

Thanks to these students for donating their time for the podcast.
