Section 2: Planned Learning (2 credits per hour)
Personal Learning Plan: A Personal Learning Plan (PLP) is a self-initiated learning activity that is stimulated by a question, issue or dilemma in your professional practice. Watching these presentations may have stimulated a question for you about your practice. To complete a PLP, you will need to name the issue, dilemma or question within your practice scenario and identify opportunities to explore this further and reflect, whether through an activity, a conference or workshop, further reading, videos, etc. When complete you may establish what you have learned and/or the changes you anticipate implementing from this learning.

You can claim Section 2 Credits within the MOC Program for time spent developing your learning plan (2 credits per hour spent). You can also claim the time spent executing the research of that question or issue (participating in a conference, webinar or reading), as well as the time you spend reflecting.

Presented by Lesya Shuba, MD, PhD, FRCSC

This module will consist of interactive discussion of clinical cases, allowing participants to discuss some challenging clinical scenarios in glaucoma. Participants will have a chance to review common features of glaucoma as opposed to other optic neuropathies, discuss unusual cases of inflammatory glaucoma, the diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas of glaucoma in high myopic individuals, and the challenges of dealing with pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma, among others. The clinical cases presented in this module were selected to generate discussion, with several particularities of the cases highlighting the “beyond the evidence” general theme for this program, where no clear right or wrong answer exists.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Discuss the differential diagnosis of optic neuropathy
• Review inflammatory glaucomas and how to correctly diagnose and treat them
• Discuss pearls and pitfalls of OCT imaging in glaucoma
• Management of pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma
• Discuss clues and management for conditions masquerading as glaucoma

More information on the INSIGHT Glaucoma Program 

The INSIGHT Glaucoma Program, Beyond the Evidence, is co-chaired by Dr. Andrew Crichton and Dr. Devesh Varma. It consists of four modules developed by respected Canadian glaucoma specialists, in partnership with the Canadian Ophthalmological Society and with an unrestricted grant from Allergan. INSIGHT Glaucoma – Beyond the Evidence is a Royal College accredited program, created after extensive consultations and a needs-assessment sent to ophthalmologists across Canada asking for topics they would like discussed in glaucoma.

Four topics were identified for development:

• What Scares You, Scares Me Too – Challenging Case Studies
• After the LPI
• Imaging & Glaucoma
• Glaucoma 101 – Things You Cannot Miss

Although evidence-based medicine is clearly the gold standard in how glaucoma patients are managed, there are certain clinical situations for which there is either no or limited evidence available. The overall objective of the program was to reinforce what evidence is available and to offer guidance through interactive discussion in some of the challenging areas where evidence is lacking.

Each module will last 90 minutes and will be centred around interactive case presentations rather than didactic lecture. At the end of the sessions, participating ophthalmologists will feel more confident in managing the areas of glaucoma discussed.

The INSIGHT Cornea Program, chaired by Dr. Bruce Jackson, consists of five modules developed by respected Canadian corneal specialists, Drs. K. Baig, C. Chan, J. Choremis, R. Ritenour, and G. Rocha, in partnership with the Canadian Ophthalmological Society and with an unrestricted grant from Allergan. INSIGHT is an accredited program developed after extensive consultations and a needs-assessment sent to ophthalmologists across Canada asking for topics they would like discussed in cornea and external disease.

Three topics were identified for development: Ocular Surface Disease, Corneal Ulcers, and Anterior Segment Lumps and Bumps. Because of the frequency and scope of corneal ulcers, three separate modules were developed around this topic– Bacterial, Viral (including Herpes and Adenovirus), and Immunologic – with and without systemic disease.
