Guide for Residency Program Directors
Understanding health systems and the global nature of health care is rapidly becoming a pertinent part of medical education. Though interest in public health and global health training is skyrocketing, a standardized curriculum in medical student and resident education has lagged demand.
The purpose of the Standard Global Ophthalmology (SGO) Curriculum is to provide a comprehensive, practical resource for ophthalmology residency program directors (PD) to incorporate global ophthalmology (GO) education into their training programs. The curriculum has an established standard course outline that aims for PDs to consider how GO can provide new methods for resident learning within the familiar parameters of ACGME core competencies. It can be added to an existing resident curriculum or create new modalities for resident GO learning.
