Dion Paridaens served as secretary of this professional association for eight years and has been its president since 2023. \u201cEvery year, we welcome 800 eye specialists to our conference to receive continuing education and exchange information on new developments. But we also wanted to offer young medical specialists the opportunity to take a specialty exam with international recognition. That became the EBO ESPORS exam. Our book will serve as the study material for that exam. Last year, the first four doctors took the exam.\u201d  <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Expand Your Knowledge<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the three editors, about twenty other authors contributed to the book on oculoplastic and orbital surgery, including doctors from other continents. This makes the book an important resource for surgeons around the world. \u201cWe hope this will help expand knowledge of our field on every continent. There is a great deal of international collaboration. From Europe, we often consult with surgeons from South America, Asia, and the United States. It\u2019s good to keep learning from one another.\u201d Work is already underway on the second edition of the book. The plan is to link an online video library to it as well.     <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For patients?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The book has 90 chapters. About 10 chapters deal with orbital surgery, and 21 chapters cover the field of orbital medicine. So is this a book that would be of interest to patients? \u201cIt\u2019s, of course, a scientific book intended for doctors. But if you\u2019re a patient who\u2019s somewhat familiar with the subject matter and has a good command of English, it might be interesting to read certain chapters.\u201d Paridaens\u2019 eyes light up as he says, \u201cAnd I\u2019d be happy to prepare a summary in Dutch of a few key chapters for your members. Then you can post them in the library section of the new OOG in OOG Association website.\u201d The OOG in OOG Association is, of course, very pleased with this generous offer from Dr. Paridaens, who has served as a member of our association\u2019s medical advisory board for many years.

The reference work consists of two volumes and contains over 1,300 pages. Paridaens and his co-editors worked on it for over three years. \u201cIt took a lot of my free time, but it\u2019s the first comprehensive European textbook in our field,\u201d he says proudly.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6379,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_daextauttol_enable_tooltips":""},"library_cat":[126],"class_list":["post-6378","library_pt","type-library_pt","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","library_cat-healthcare-providers"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ver-ooginoog.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/library_pt\/6378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ver-ooginoog.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/library_pt"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ver-ooginoog.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/library_pt"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ver-ooginoog.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ver-ooginoog.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"library_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ver-ooginoog.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/library_cat?post=6378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
