Fellowships

In April 2005 the AUPO – Fellowship Compliance Committee began to accept web-based applications from Fellowship Directors. The programs that meet the guidelines were listed on the AUPO-FCC web page as “being in compliance with the AUPO-FCC sub-specialty guidelines.” Additionally, the programs were able to state in their program description for the San Francisco Ophthalmology Fellowship Matching Program (SF-OFMP) that they were “in compliance with the AUPO-FCC sub-specialty fellowship guidelines) and notify applicants as such.

A listing of available fellowship is on the SF-OFMP web page www.sfmatch.org.
The cost of the program is minimal ($250 per program per year for up to 2 fellowship positions and $50 for each additional fellow). All positions must be listed through the SF-OFMP. The bulk of the expense to set up and maintain the compliance program is born by the AUPO and the individual sub-specialty societies.

The Cornea Society urges all programs to participate. It is our belief this will strengthen the quality of training, improve its educational component, and assist residents in fellowship selection.
