Congratulations Dr. Robson!
Minnesota Optometric Association spring meeting was a fantastic experience. I was able to accomplish a career goal of presenting at a state optometric meeting and brought the trophy back to Associated Eye Care for “Most Compelling Resident Case Presentation”. Residency continues to bless me with amazing experiences, challenges, and opportunity for growth that I am forever grateful for! #NeverStopLearning

Christopher Wolfe's post highlights some confusion related to CLIA. Mainly, the differences between CLIA "Certificate of Waiver" (relatively common in the optometric community if you are performing tests for #osmolarity, #MMP-9 and adenovirus) and a CLIA "Certificate of Registration" (very rare in the optometric community because the number of "moderately complex" tests that are performed in office have been limited, some newer tests like #lactoferrin and #IgE may change this). We thought it would be wise to provide a brief overview of the differences of each "Certificate" The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) regulate laboratory testing and require clinical laboratories to be certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) before they can operate and accept human specimens for testing. There are different types of CLIA certificates, including the Certificate of Waiver and the Certificate of Registration. Here's how they differ: CLIA Certificate of Waiver: ✔ Laboratories that perform only waived tests are eligible for a Certificate of Waiver. ✔Waived tests are simple tests with a low risk for erroneous results, as determined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). ✔These tests are typically easy to perform and have minimal chance of error when conducted correctly. ✔Examples of waived tests include certain pregnancy tests, dipstick urine tests, and some rapid strep tests. ✔Laboratories with a Certificate of Waiver are subject to fewer regulatory requirements compared to laboratories performing more complex testing. CLIA Certificate of Registration: ✔Laboratories that perform non-waived, moderate, or high complexity testing must obtain a Certificate of Registration. ✔Non-waived tests are those that do not meet the criteria for waived tests. These tests have a higher risk for erroneous results and require more stringent quality control and oversight. ✔Moderate and high complexity tests are categorized based on the complexity of the testing procedures and the level of expertise required to perform them. ✔Laboratories with a Certificate of Registration must comply with more extensive regulatory requirements, including personnel qualifications, quality control procedures, proficiency testing, and laboratory inspections. To summarize, the main difference between a CLIA Certificate of Waiver and a #CLIA Certificate of Registration lies in the complexity of the tests performed. Laboratories conducting only waived tests can obtain a Certificate of Waiver, while those performing non-waived, moderate, or high complexity testing require a Certificate of Registration, which entails more stringent regulatory oversight and compliance.

We just received our CLIA registration! We are probably among a handful of optometric practices in the country to have this! Why is it important for our patients? We have been performing CLIA waved tests for about a decade and this allows us to perform additional lab tests that help us with the diagnosis and treatment of dry eye that we can not perform otherwise. Why is this important for optometry? This would not have occurred without the relationships we have built over the years in Vision Source®. We have to use the knowledge, education and training to serve our patients, we would not do things as well without that relationship! A little backstory I was working my way through the exhibit hall at the American Academy Of Optometry meeting last fall, and I ran into Rebecca Chandler, we began discussing opportunities we made some additional connections and made it happen from there.

The key to maintaining an open space is making it functional and adaptable. That's why we thoughtfully incorporated SITONIT's Movi Nesting Chairs in our Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine at Texas Christian University project.

Hospital consolidation can drive up patient costs without improving care quality. AIMPA members are working hard to keep high-quality, lower-cost care options -- like independent medical practices -- accessible to patients. Learn more: https://aimpa.us/about/
Foreign Medical Graduate | Clinical Research/Trials Specialist ¦Junior Clinician Scientist in Translational, Integrative, & Precision Medicine ¦ <<HEALTH EQUITY THROUGH DIVERSITY>>
International Medical Graduate representation in Collegiate and Academic leadership in medicine has been scientifically proven to increase positive clinical outcomes, not just in culturally diverse cohorts and patient populations, but overall improvement across all demographics. Yes! IMG doctors like Dr. Ruaa Elteriefi MD FACP who are Program Directors and/or leadership positions in residency programs are quite literally changing the face of American Healthcare and bridging care gaps on a daily basis. Personally, this is one of my biggest inspirations to continue fighting the good fight of #HealthEquity through #Diversity. Several theories arise referencing cultural competency, accurate communication for patients with language challenges, and diversity of therapeutic modalities tailored with greater precision and personalization as potential avenues and strengths that are fueling these initiatives with proven results. The integration of internationally-trained physicians and scientists represents a one-of-a-kind opportunity to bridge care gaps among every single member that composes a part of our society. IMGs = More Americans have access to care = Black and Brown America's health and community needs are taken care of with objectively measured better outcomes. What are your thoughts?
Dr Ruaa Elteriefi MD FACP is the Internal Medicine Residency Program Director at Beaumont Health in Dearborn, Michigan and she drove all the way from Michigan with her family to The IMG Event New York City to give you the best insight and advices about residency and how to match as an IMG!! 👏👏 #TheIMGEvent
