Have You Experienced the ‘OQC—Eureka Moments!’ Podcast?

It’s like sitting with friends and colleagues talking about surgery, discussing what you’ve learned, sharing excitement in other’s successes, lots of laughter, insights, and stories.

If you haven’t experienced the third season of Ophthalmology Quicksand Chronices (OQC)—Eureka Moments!, give it a try. This isn’t a dry ophthalmology podcast.

The dynamic co-hosts Nicole Fram, MD, and Elizabeth Yeu, MD, are joined by a guest in each episode (four episodes in Season 3 so far) as they showcase the enlightening moments that allow surgeons to “come out of the dark,” those special moments in surgery where you discover a way to make things easier, more efficient.

Get into the cases and share in the excitement
