General Program Evaluation


Please describe any poor ratings:

Content lacking (especially Friday and Saturday).

I know that the AOCD works very hard to put on these meetings. The meeting is great for students, interns and residents but not as applicable for attendings.

I’d like to see more lectures with practice based ideas. Enjoyed seminars on practice management but there were too many. More CME credits offered per meeting would be nice too.

No self-parking available at conference hotel.

Not every lecturer offered Q & A.

The ted talks style was great, but the format of lectures such as those does not fit well with lecturing on specific disease states...psoriasis, melanoma, etc.

This was more of a practice management seminar than a true dermatology meeting. I understand that it is advantageous to have a mix, but almost all of Friday had no relevance for clinical dermatology.

dermatology lectures were useful and

interesting.

Comments

As a medical student interested in dermatology, I enjoy the lectures that focus on dermatology cases including the differential, medical management/treatment, and classification of the disorder.

Both John & Marsha did an excellent job. MACRA hard to understand.

Conference topics could have been distributed more evenly throughout (i.e. practice management topics mixed with general dermatology topics each day, as opposed to concentrated on Friday.)

Dr. Jean Paul Azzi - awesome presentation

Dr. Reagan Anderson must continue to lecture! Dr. Sangwan was amazing! Dr. Wein & Dr. Rosen are great!

Enjoyed the "TEDTalk" format.

Excellent conference!

Excellent meeting (2)

Excellent meeting. Thanks for providing extra Sunday course regarding licensing.

Excellent overall conference.

For me, the cutting edge medical/surgical advantages and practice management components/lectures were the most beneficial lectures for my practice and future growth.

Good stuff overall.

Good time of year for meeting.

Great conference (2)

Great conference: Enjoyed the topics. Excellent speakers. Fun venue/location.

Great facilities.

Great lectures. Sometime sounds, acoustics hard to heard at times for some speakers. Marsha/John did a great job.

Great location, very good meeting.

I had to stay five miles away. Maybe a bigger block of rooms?

I like lectures formatted as a panel of multiple speakers each giving their 5 minute input on various topics.

I really appreciate that you incorporated the 5 Florida hours at this meeting.

I think, if possible, it would be a good idea to have a list of conference attendees.

I thought this was a great meeting. I also had fun.

I would have liked more dermatology on Friday and Saturday.

Ted Rosen was amazing, as was Carlos Ricotti and Michael Wein. It would be nice to have access to Powerpoint and handouts.

Lecture on radiation oncology was a lot like a sales pitch, just did not use company name.

Love it!

More updates on disease/treatment based lectures instead of lectures on hypnosis or practice management

Nice meeting!

Outstanding conference!!!

Thank you very much! Very nice location for event.

Thank you.

Thanks for a nice meeting.

Thanks! The location was very convenient!

The city and the venue both were perfect. It was an intimate hotel that allowed for easy networking opportunities in the lobby and by the pool. The city was extremely attractive and had just enough things to do to keep it fun, yet not so much that I didn't want to be at the meeting. I would highly recommend having the meeting here again. Thanks for putting together another great AOCD meeting!

The conference provided a variety of topics pertaining to enhancing my medical knowledge, patient care & outcomes.

The timing of the conference was great, right before license renewal.

Too much business and feel good.

Very enjoyable.

Very good seminar.

Would like a list of attendees to see if previous colleagues are at meeting.


Would like less cosmetic lectures, more medical derm needed. Overall a good conference. Have you thought about regional (two per year) meetings in addition to main and midyear meeting? Gives opportunity to get additional credits. Have you thought about Columbus, Cleveland, Pittsburgh?
