ESASO FELLOWSHIPS

An ESASO Fellowship enables talented graduates to develop the expertise and professional network necessary to forge the next career steps in their lives. Under the tutelage of world-renowned practitioners in the field at highly-specialised teaching hospitals and university departments, fellows gain the knowledge and practical skills necessary to practise a subspecialty at the highest level.
Some 18 young ophthalmologists submitted their applications by the end of May which were reviewed and fully rated by the Fellowship Committee. On 27 June eight applicants were interviewed by the members of the Fellowship Committee, chaired by Prof Stanley Chang, in Lugano. Two young ophthalmologists were selected to become new ESASO Fellows and thus become part of an international network of experts and leaders.
The two young ophthalmologists have the opportunity to choose from 11 world-renowned international institutions where they can attend a complete training programme of a full year. Depending on their specialisation, the fellows will have the invaluable opportunity to learn from global leaders in ophthalmology in subspecialties such as cataract surgery, cornea and refractive surgery, glaucoma and medical and surgical retina. Currently the two selected fellows are preparing their journey at their fellowship institutions abroad. ESASO congratulates both and wishes them all the best for the coming year.
“The ESASO fellowship partner institutions are hand selected by the ESASO Fellowship Committee,” said Prof Chang.“They are committed to common training standards to guarantee the highest outcomes in both expertise and reputation,” he said.
To date, eight ESASO Fellows have completed their training. They can be contacted through ESASO for anyone who wishes to learn about this invaluable opportunity.
