Ophthalmology continuing education extends throughout the career of an ophthalmologist.
Education encompasses the development and dissemination of educational materials and programs so that all ophthalmologists are able to acquire and enhance the knowledge and skills needed to provide the best possible eye care to all people.
The principal results that can be obtained by the task force are:
- Encourage career-long continuing education by all ophthalmologists,
particularly in the areas of personal professional practice.
- Identify high-quality continuing education materials and programs
for use by ophthalmologists worldwide.
- Stimulate ophthalmologists to evaluate professional knowledge and skills by periodic objective knowledge Examination procedures and outcome Examination programs.
- Promote innovative programs of knowledge enrichment by special fellowships and twinning partnerships.
