[AAO2013]眼科领域的新变化及新发展——美国范德比尔特大学眼科研究所Paul Sternberg教授专访 2013-12-21 13:36:00?国际眼科时讯 　　International Ophthalmology Times:?As the president of AAO this year， what do you see as the focus of of this year’s meeting in New Orleans? 　　Dr. Sternberg:?The focus of the meeting is really to remind attendees why they became ophthalmologists， to increase the passion for the field of ophthalmology. We want to be sensitive to and have content for international members. We want to have more places and ways for our teachers to be effective and respond to the different ways people learn. So， we are moving away from simply the large conference hall lecture to settings where there can be more informal and interactive conversations， at lounges， cafes， and breakfasts. We really give the attendees the opportunity to have closer contact with our teachers. Certainly， healthcare reform and its impact on ophthalmology in the United States and the rollout of our registry is important. These are sort of two kinds of non-educational components that we know are of high interest to our domestic membership. 　　《国际眼科时讯》：作为今年AAO会议的主席，您认为今年在新奥尔良召开的AAO年会的焦点是什么？ 　　Paul Sternberg：会议的焦点是使参会者想起其成为眼科医师的原因，这大大提高了眼科医师的激情。我们希望能够使国际眼科同仁满意。我们希望有更多的地点和方式为医生们提供有效的学习和教学。所以我们离开单纯的大会议厅而走到更加适合人们进行非正式交流的场所，例如休息室、咖啡厅和早餐处。我们真正地为参会者提供了与演讲者密切交流的机会。当然，卫生保健改革及其对于美国眼科医生的影响，还有注册处的展示都非常重要。国内的医生对这两类非教育性的内容非常感兴趣。 　　International Ophthalmology Times:?You mention that keeping ophthalmologists focus is one of those goals. With healthcare reform coming， do you find that its become a distraction? 　　Dr. Sternberg:?I think it absolutely can become that， and we know that its important for members to manage their practice， and manage their staff， to make sure that they can afford the equipment and the pharmaceuticals that they need for their patients. But at the same time， we don’t want it to be the focus of their lives， and they don’t want it to be the focus of their lives. We are fortunate to be in a profession where we do feel rewarded
