October | November 2008 With Deepest Appreciation Please accept my heartfelt Thank You for the beautiful flowers and plants, cards, memorial contributions, thoughts, prayers and condolences at the sudden death of my mother. I am overwhelmed at the outpouring of concern for me and my family, and I find it most difficult to express my gratitude for everyone’s comforting kindness and thoughtfulness. Our Lord blessed and enriched the lives of me and my family with the love of our wonderful mom. She had dementia, and our prayers for a quick and peaceful death for her were, most gratefully, answered.

October | November 2008 Paraoptometric Continuing Education--Get Credit for What You Know We Want What You Have Help other paraoptometrics benefit from your knowledge • Do you have a special system for billing and coding? • Do you know how to deal with “special” patients? • Do you have good communication skills? • Is there a pre-test, instrument or procedure that you are proficient in performing? Why not share your knowledge with other paraoptometrics? The AOA Paraoptometric Section (PS) Online Continuing Education Committee is looking for authors. Each year, the PS provides six hours of free continuing education opportunities through articles posted on the AOA member Web site. What are the benefits of having your article published on the Web site? Not only will you gain recognition for your article, but you may also receive three hours of continuing education. Your article will be scheduled for posting in 2009, so there’s plenty of time to complete your 1,500-word article. Have the knowledge but are afraid of the writing process? Don’t worry, the Continuing Education Committee will guide you through the steps and mentor you as you work on your article. You don’t have to be a published or seasoned writer. Many of our authors have found the writing experience very rewarding. One of our recent authors was mentored by Rebecca Johnson, CPOT, and writing the article was educational, easy and FUN! Completing an article boosts self-confidence and, as an extra incentive, authors whose articles are published receive three CE credits for each one-hour CE article they write. What a great way to earn CE and share your knowledge with others! We are looking for articles on any topic of interest that would provide education to paraoptometrics. The subject could be practice management, contact lens, glaucoma, or any topic that would help paraoptometrics in their day-to-day job responsibilities. 17 Your article may be written for basic, intermediate or advanced levels of knowledge. For more information on guidelines for authors, contact the PS manager at JVMurphy@aoa.org or call 800-365-2219, ext. 4222.
