In this episode of the Aaron Werner Podcast, Dr. Aaron Werner is joined by Dr. Carl Urbanski and Dr. Andy Morgenstern—two key leaders behind the AOA’s Evidence-Based Optometry Committee. Together, they pull back the curtain on the Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) that shape how optometrists diagnose and manage disease.
What You’ll Learn:
• What the AOA Clinical Practice Guidelines really are—and why they matter
• The 14-step, evidence-first process behind each guideline
• How to use CPGs in real-world clinical settings to improve patient care
• Why prevalence data should change how you see your schedule
• The difference between “great pickups” and just doing your job well
• Why CPGs are NOT influenced by industry or billing priorities—only evidence
• How students, staff, and even patients can benefit from engaging with guidelines
