Our Story
Tropical CE has been dedicated to bringing cutting edge continuing education combined with exotic destinations since 1997. We always ensure that every hour of CE is COPE qualified, and all hours are submitted to ARBO electronically on the attendees behalf. All Tropical CE educational programs are administered under the auspices of the Rosenberg School of Optometry, University of the Incarnate Word. The University reviews and endorses all course materials, speakers, and presentations. For OD’s with Florida licenses, Tropical CE will also submit attendance hours to CE Broker.
Join us for the upcoming season where you will hear the most knowledgeable and engaging speakers who deliver the most up-to-date information on primary eye care, diagnosis and management of ophthalmic disease and therapeutic drug use. At each event you receive up to 20 hours of cutting edge COPE approved continuing education.
Most meetings begin with a Saturday evening cocktail reception around the pool. This is a great time for seeing old friends, meeting new ones and getting your Tropical CE experience off on the right foot. Sunday provides you with a day to enjoy yourself either at the beach, pool, or one of our optional activities. Classes of 5 hours each day begin on Monday morning. The afternoon is open for fun. Join the group activity for the day, perhaps snorkeling on a catamaran or riding horses down the beach. Take off on your own for a round of golf or just put your feet up in a hammock with a good book. Classes are held again on Tuesday morning and Wednesday is another free day. Join us in the jungle as we float down the river through a set of caves or go sailing on an ancient wooden tall ship. Lectures begin again on Thursday afternoon and finish on Friday morning giving you the option to stay an extra weekend. We recommend a minimum of a Saturday to Saturday stay.
We invite you, your family and friends, to join the Tropical CE family. All of your guests are included in our group, and receive the same discounted pricing.
The remainder of our 2020 schedule brings us to Riviera Maya, Sonoma, & Alaska. All of these events are unique and exciting in their own way!
