Kardon Inducted as ARVO Fellow
Randy Kardon, MD, PhD, will be inducted in the second class of ARVO Fellows during the Annual Meeting the first week in May of 2010.
The title of ARVO Fellow is an honor established in 2009 to recognize current ARVO members for their individual accomplishments, leadership and contributions to the Association.
ARVO Fellows serve as role models and mentors for individuals pursuing careers in vision and ophthalmology research and help further ARVO's vision "... to facilitate the advancement of vision research and the prevention and cure of disorders of the visual system worldwide", which includes advancing basic and clinical knowledge and serving as the leading international forum for vision research and the primary advocate for vision science worldwide.
Eligibility for the Fellow designation is determined by a point system established by the ARVO Board (revised October 2009), under which members are awarded points for participation in the activities listed below. Eligible years have been determined based upon available records. The maximum point levels have been set to require multiple areas of participation to become an ARVO Fellow.
