Eye Hospitals who want to become a training centre for their region
Participants can be Head of the Institute and Training in charge
Lions Aravind Institute of Community Ophthalmology, Madurai
Ms. Dhivya
- You may be eligible if your eye hospital currently offers or is interested in starting a training programme for eye care paramedics.
- Each hospital should bring a team of two to three participants: representing the head of the institute, the person in charge of the training programme, and one person actively involved in delivering the training. Ideal applications will include all three.
- This course requires participants to be able to speak in English.
- Your team will be required to carry out activities before the course, in order to enable active participation once the course begins. More importantly, the team will be required to carry out activities after the course. Bringing a full team is necessary to ensure that learning from Eyexcel is translated back to your workplace.
This course prepares eye hospital teams to deliver high-quality training on a regular basis for allied ophthalmic personnel. Experienced faculty from Aravind, international guest faculty, and successful Eyexcel alumni will conduct this course. The course is highly interactive with the majority of time spent in practice and application. Each participant team meets daily with a facilitator to deepen exposure to the content and to apply it to the needs of the team’s institution. Participants receive all course materials in print in a binder as well as digitally on a CD.
