Managing a practice is complex. Luckily you’re not alone. The success of your practice is our business. |
The American Academy of Ophthalmic Executives (AAOE), is the Academy’s practice management resource providing ophthalmic staff and ophthalmologists with the timely and accurate practice management and coding information you need to manage a successful practice.
| “AAOE is a valuable resource for both physician and staff providing valuable guidance and insights on the business aspects of ophthalmology. I strongly encourage any ophthalmologist with office-based practice to join” |
"Joining AAOE and the benefit of E-Talk were the best things I could ever have done in this job. There is no way I would have been as successful at this job as I am without AAOE and E-Talk." |
