ATLANTA— SECO International has launched SECO University, an online educational resource center for optometric continuing education. Now available online are more than 50 hours of COPE-approved online CE, eight years and more than 1,000 hours of SECO audio course recordings, and three years of multimedia posters from SECO’s advanced learning center.

SECO University courses are delivered in two formats: 1) SECO special session videos with full-course lectures in high definition, and 2) the more traditional OD online course format with audio, a presentation and handout. While all online courses are exclusively for optometrists this year, SECO plans to add online courses for associated optometric professionals next year. Additional courses will be added regularly, and the courses from SECO 2015 will be available beginning May 1, 2015.

Optometrists who register for the SECO 2015 all-inclusive package can access SECO University for free, otherwise the cost is $299 per year.

James Herman, OD, president of SECO International, said, "We are proud to introduce SECO University to the optometric community. Our team has been working for several years to bring together all the pieces for this extraordinary educational offering. While SECO typically draws attendees from all 50 states and approximately 20 other countries, we recognize that not everyone can make it to Atlanta in March. Now optometrists from around the globe can access SECO quality education from any place with an Internet connection every day of the year."
