ESASOa Vision of Collaboration

| 3ESASO welcomes you

ESASO is a pioneer in post-graduate education in ophthalmology. We collaborate with individuals, groups and institutions to enhance expertise in ophthalmology and take the field into the future. Our approach is of a Vision of Collaboration, from fruit-ful partnerships with leading ophthalmologists and institutions worldwide. These collaborations are the source of cutting-edge knowledge, innovative and in-depth research, clinical leadership and a global outlook that is also reflected in the diversity and skills of our participants at the campuses at Lake Lugano in Switzerland, and in Singapore.

The School’s activities cover the study of all subspecialties, including medical and surgi-cal management of retinal conditions, cornea, refractive surgery, cataracts, glaucoma, uveitis, oculoplasty, paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus.

We hope that ESASO will continue to grow to become a leader in the field of ophthalmolo-gical training. We believe that by supporting the learning needs of tomorrow’s leading ophthalmologists, we are investing in better outcomes for eye patients everywhere.

We look forward to welcoming you to an inspiring learning environment that will challenge your perspectives, expand your horizons and unlock your full potential.

Yours sincerely

Borja Corcóstegui President Scientific Council

Module Programme Structure

We understand that everyone’s learning needs are unique, whether you are pursuing post-graduate education, or fit-ting continued learning around your work. Our modular approach has been developed with the Bologna Process at its heart. All modules are structured to ensure consistency in the following areas: learning, recognition of achieve-ment, and application of new skills and knowledge to your practice.• Phase 1: Preparation. This phase lasts for three months, to allow for sufficient study time and consolidation.• Phase 2: Seminar. Hands-on training in real-life situa- tions over one week, followed by individual examination.• Phase 3: Transfer. Practical application of acquired knowledge to daily practice over one to two months.

ESASO conducts regular surveys after each module to guarantee quality and to ensure that our educational programme communi-cates the latest developments in the field and meets the diverse needs of our participants.

Fellowships

The ESASO Fellowship programme is a good option for those wishing to achieve the highest level of training. In pursuing this ultra-advanced line of study, highly-mo-tivated and talented ophthalmologists can specialise in a subject to refine and further develop their skills in the context of clinical ophthalmic surgery under the tuition of a renowned and prestigious faculty. ESASO Fellowships and Observerships are truly unique as curricula are planned in consultation with highly reputed and accredited academic and clinical bodies from around the world. Each ESASO Fellowship is offered annually, lasts 12 months and includes instructorled and research based objectives.

These include the following topic leads at world-leading ophthalmology institutions:

Financial supportTo ensure that high-achieving candidates have the best possible chance of participating in our Fellowship progra- mme, ESASO is pleased to provide grants of up to € 40,000 for two annual fellowships (subject to local funding of the international centre).

“It is a very special experience for me to be part of the ESASO faculty. It is so exciting to witness how a group of young, eager, students are trying to improve their knowledge and become professionals in the field of medical and surgical retina disease. The small groups, the academic atmosphere, the convenient facility, the excellent faculty from all over the world, and the dry and wet labs, make this learning and teaching experience unique in its kind. I am proud to be part of it!”Anat Loewenstein, IsraelMD MHA, Professor of Ophthalmology and Deputee Dean of the medical school at the Sackler Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University

“The ESASO faculty appointment gives a great piece of satisfaction and highlights the beauty of ocular surgery by teaching and discussing it with colleagues form around the world. The eye stays roughly the same, but ESASO provides the differences in mentality and culture, something that you can hardly describe in a program. Thanks for being part of it.”Michael Koss, GermanyHead of Retina and associate professor at the Department of Ophthalmology, Ruprecht Karls University, Heidelberg, Germany
