June 15, 2011
The Academy is very pleased to announce that the following twenty Eye M.D.s were chosen via a competitive selection process to participate in the Academy’s Leadership Development Program (LDP) XIV, Class of 2012.
A sincere thanks to all the state, sub specialty and specialized interest societies who submitted nominees. In addition, the international participant who was selected, Michiyo Stern, MD of Japan, was nominated by the Asia Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology.
As participants on the LDP Selection Committee, we can personally express what a difficult job we had in selecting amongst an impressive pool of nominees. Based on program evaluations, we are committed to maintaining a small class size to maximize interaction and collaborative learning.
Congratulations to the LDP XIV, Class of 2012!
