When choosing the right learning platform, ECPs want to be sure they are getting resources that will help grow their practice. VSP Premier Edge Training and Education, formerly VSP Premier Academy360, has been a trusted and doctor-vetted training and education source that has helped elevate private practices for nearly 5 years. The platform offers educational resources tailored specifically for VSP network doctors and staff.





The platform is accessed via the VSP Premier Edge Provider Hub. VSP network doctors and staff can access educational resources designed to support their specific practice goals. Many of the on-demand eLearning courses and webinars are available to all VSP network doctors and staff. Practices that participate in Premier Edge at the Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels can access a greater variety of education as a benefit of their participation in Premier Edge.

ECPs also have the option to enroll in VSP Optics’ UUniversity courses. UUniversity is complimentary and provides technical continuing education for optical products that are proprietary to VSP Optics to opticians and eye doctors, enhancing their ability to effectively deliver a great experience to their patients.

“For more than 10 years, Premier Edge has offered a variety of training and educational opportunities with one goal in mind, to support private practice,” said chief provider and industry solutions officer, Michelle Skinner.





She noted one of the more in-demand training and education courses offered is diabetes-focused education in partnership with the American Diabetes Association. Live virtual education is offered multiple times throughout the year, in addition to on-demand courses. This format is convenient for busy practitioners who want to learn at their own pace from peers about diabetes care. In addition, many of these courses offer COPE-accredited continuing education credits.

Recently, VSP launched a series of courses called Staff360 that provide complimentary resources to help Platinum- and Gold-level practices ease the challenges of onboarding new employees, while accelerating their knowledge of the optometric industry, VSP, and specific practice goals.

VSP plans to increase its focus on live in-person events to complement its online education on topics that help practitioners better understand VSP’s products, programs, and processes. This will include exploring opportunities to leverage technology to host and broadcast live events online and connect practices to VSP subject-matter experts.

“The training and education program is one of many ways we are continuing our promise to deliver more opportunities for more patients, profit, and support for independent practices,” said Skinner.
