Education Initiatives	(1)	April 12, 2018	ICO Position on Training Teams The International Council of Ophthalmology advocates for and encourages comprehensive team training as an essential strategy to achieve Universal Eye Health. There is evidence that patients receive higher quality care and are safer when services are provided by effective teams. Training as a team promotes better communication, coordination, and cooperation. Transitioning from traditional clinical, institutionally-based training for ophthalmologists to a wider team-based training approach will both optimize performance and contribute to accessible, affordable, comprehensive eye care for the betterment of our patients and communities. Endorsed: Board of Directors, International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO) Board of Directors, International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) Board of Directors, International Joint Commission on Allied Health Personnel in Ophthalmology (IJCAHPO) Board of Directors, Joint Commission on Allied Health Personnel in Ophthalmology (JCAHPO) Read the ICO Position on Training Teams URL (252 KB) \| Save to My ICO	ICO
