title: Childhood Miller Fisher syndrome: case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Three years ago Ray Buncic and I were having a break from the lectures at an ophthalmology meeting. Ray told me of his earnest desire to provide Canadian ophthalmologists with a series of updates in pediatric ophthalmology. After a few days we were both back to the "busi-ness" of medicine, with little time to devote to such a project. Then, along came the COS Council on Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and the MaintCert program--a bold initiative to draw talent of Canadian ophthalmology into a program of continuing medical education (CME). One initiative was to use the Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology as a CME tool. This article by Eedy Mezer and Ray Buncic is highlighted as a Section 3 learning activity (self-assessment). I am delighted to have seen Ray bring forward his idea in this manner. The Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology has initiated this project in conjunction with the Council on CPD. There are a number of questions that relate to this article that can be answered on the COS Web site (http://www.eyesite.ca). Participants will be provided with an aggregate score and a certificate that can be printed to allow them to record this activity for Section 3 credits with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.
