Dear Colleagues,
I am excited to announce that the registration for the 17th William Magrane Basic Sciences Course is now open! The course will run online for 2023, with a period of access to the material both before and after the live sessions. Full details and a link to the registration are included in the attached document. Registration will close at midnight on 28th April 2023.
If you attended the 2022 in-person BSC and want to attend online this year, then the ACVO is offering a 20% discount on your 2023 registration costs. Email svmcontinuinged@ucdavis.edu for the discount code.

17th William Magrane Basic Science Course in Veterinary and Comparative Ophthalmology
May 12th - July 10th, 2023
Register now for the 2023 Basic Science Course, hosted online from May 12th - July 10th, 2023
This year, the Basic Science Course will again be offered as a series of online lectures and discussions following the same general format used in 2020 and 2021. It will run for approximately 8 weeks and comprise three consecutive parts. First, pre-recorded (“asynchronous”) lectures and notes will be available for preview for about 3 weeks. This will be followed by an approximately 3-week period of live (“synchronous”) online discussions, online image recognition sessions (“slide rounds”), and online social events. Finally, all materials (including recordings of the lectures, online discussions, and image recognition sessions) will remain available for review for approximately 2 weeks.
Tentative dates for these 3 periods are as follows:
Asynchronous Preview period: Fri May 12th through Sunday June 4th, 2023
Synchronous Live sessions: Mon June 5th through Sunday June 25th, 2023
Asynchronous Review period: Monday June 26th through Monday July 10th, 2023
This format provides each attendee maximum flexibility in the way they learn. Over the 8 weeks, you can watch all recorded lectures and discussions as many times as you wish – and on your own schedule. In addition, you can log-in live to any discussion sessions to hear new and additional material and to have your questions answered by the course speakers. Plus, you can participate in live image recognition sessions (slide rounds) or watch them on delay.
If you attended the 2022 in-person BSC and want to attend online this year, then the ACVO is offering a 20% discount on your 2023 registration costs. Email svmcontinuinged@ucdavis.edu for the discount code.
