MoranCORE.Utah.edu: Glaucoma Education Resources Expand

Moran’s online Clinical Ophthalmology Resource for Education (CORE), offering worldwide access to high-quality, peer-reviewed ophthalmic learning since 2015, recently expanded its glaucoma section.

The update includes new surgical videos and manuscripts, plus a more user-friendly outline, says Susan Chortkoff, MD, the glaucoma section editor.

The section has nine content areas covering everything from glaucoma classifications, patient evaluations, and disease management to epidemiology, genetics, and basic science.

Moran CORE has grown exponentially in recent years via the website and a YouTube channel, with more than 900 videos on various subjects from basic eye care training and surgery techniques to best practices for outreach work.

Moran produces the site in partnership with the Spencer S. Eccles Health Sciences Library at the University of Utah. Here’s a closer look at this invaluable learning resource.
