Who are the courses for? The courses are for ophthalmologists and eye surgeons from sub Saharan Africa, for training or upskilling in the relevant surgical technique.
Where are the courses run? The courses are run in the Ophthalmology Surgery Training Unit at Groote Schuur Hospital.
What is the structure of the courses? The five-day courses involve intense practical simulation-based surgical education with expert surgeon trainers. They are blended courses, with on-line study modules in the weeks beforehand. This minimises didactic teaching in Cape Town, and maximises hands-on training and practice.
What is the cost of the courses? The cost of each course is US$600 / ZAR7000. Additionally, a recommended budget for accommodation and meals in Cape Town is US$150 / ZAR1800 per day.
