WORD, www.icoword.org, is an online forum and resource center to enhance residency education, with a monthly email newsletter that highlights resources for teaching residents.

This project could be of great help for almost every residency program, since it would solve two common problems many of them share, even the most developed ones:  

• Some programs do not have subspecialists in each and every area of ophthalmology who could educate their residents
• Some programs may have these subspecialists, but do not have time to develop all the teaching/learning interventions that are desirable in residents’ education.
