WAEPS Connect

We are excited to continue our transition from WAEPS Young Ophthalmology to WAEPS Connect! This change reflects our goal to create a more inclusive community where all WAEPS members — regardless of career stage — can connect, collaborate, and support one another. When you receive emails about upcoming WAEPS Connect events, please know that you are invited and we encourage you to join us!

Stay tuned for more details and registration information for each event. We look forward to seeing you soon!
