Look for the Clinical Survey iPad team roaming the Convention Center and symposia rooms to participate. By completing the survey and providing either an ASCRS mem- bership number or email address, respondents will receive a raffle tick- et for a chance to win a 2015 Tesla Model S and be entered into a daily drawing to win 1 of 20 exciting priz- es including iPhone 6s, Fitbits, and gift cards. All survey responders will also be emailed an advance sum- mary of the data shortly after the meeting. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, by completing the sur- vey, respondents will be providing key data needed to help drive future ASCRS education. If they choose, respondents can elect to remain anonymous and still provide ASCRS with important feedback. Using the ASCRS Clinical Survey to drive education The 2015 survey data will be ana- lyzed and presented to the ASCRS leadership and Clinical Committees for review. At that point they will determine if gaps exist between the data collected and recommended practice patterns as identified by the subspecialty experts. If educational gaps are discov- ered, they will serve as the basis for the coming year's ASCRS CME educational programming. ASCRS' goal is to narrow any identified gaps through targeted educational efforts. Future surveys will enable ASCRS to track how specific education initiatives have changed opinions, understanding, and behavior. An EyeWorld supplement will be published this fall with a summary of the key findings from the 2015 survey. All current and historical survey data can be accessed at www. globaltrendsinophthalmology.com.

Much of the data has also been shared with the ASCRS Cornea Clinical Committee, and you may see inclusion of this in the World Cornea Congress VII programming.

While many surveys yield important data, the ASCRS Clinical Survey is unique in that it's used to assess key clinical opinions and to drive specific educational efforts aimed at improving the practice of medicine. The 2015 survey will build on the success of the 2014 effort, in which more than 1,500 ASCRS member ophthalmologists participated. The survey questions ASCRS members about key issues they face on a regular basis. The goal is to obtain opinion from a significant percentage of the membership and to then have the results reviewed and interpreted by the ASCRS Clin- ical Committees. The 2014 survey generated 267 unique, measurable data elements across 11 different clinical areas.
