Fellowship with Structured Curriculum and Certification
Does the Fellowship fulfill AUPO-FCC* fellowship
training requirements?
Yes
No
*AUPO-FCC: Association of United Professors of Ophthalmology – Fellowship Compliance Council
Please note: These are the fellowship training requirements laid out by the Association of United
Professors of Ophthalmology – Fellowship Compliance Council (AUPO-FCC). There may be other
more defined guidelines which may differ from what has been set out below.
Fellowship training requires more in‐depth education about the pathophysiology and management than can
usually be obtained in residency training in ophthalmology. Fellowships include a continuous period of intense
and focused training in developing and maintaining knowledge, skills, scholarship, and professionalism. A
fellow should be knowledgeable and proficient in all the activities listed for residency training. Subspecialty
fellowship training should include a more in-depth exposure and understanding of the diagnosis and medical
management of diseases of the eyelids, conjunctiva, cornea/sclera, and anterior ocular segment, as well as
recognition and treatment of posterior segment disease that may affect the anterior segment. Subspecialty
fellowship training should include hands on training covering surgery of the conjunctiva, cornea/sclera, anterior
segment, lens, and anterior vitreous, with special emphasis on corneal transplantation and related procedures.
The fellow should be exposed to opportunities to develop research skills. A specific block of time may be set
aside for clinical or laboratory research.
To be eligible for qualification as Full Corneal Fellowship in our definition, the duration of training
must be no shorter than 6 months. Any training shorter than the designated 6-month
requirement would otherwise be considered observership or clinical attachment.
