Heads of Eye Hospital who mostly tend to be an ophthalmologist
Lions Aravind Institute of Community Ophthalmology, Madurai
Mr. Sanil Joseph
- This course is most successful when participants learn not only from the faculty, but equally from each other through sharing of their own experiences and problems. You are therefore qualified if your eye care responsibilities and experiences can contribute to an informed, nuanced debate. You are an ideal participant if you manage a hospital or organization providing eye care.
- We recognize that in many instances this role is performed by an ophthalmologist. Applications will therefore be assessed based on the following criteria:
- Current level of organisational responsibility
- Ability to contribute to and learn from the course
- Balance of management and professional backgrounds
- Geographical and cultural diversity.
- As the course will be presented in English, all applicants will be expected to communicate effectively in English.
This one-week course provides and overview of principles and practices of management for the efficient delivery of eye care services, with a particular focus on implementation and the measurement tools that heads of hospitals need for evidence-based decision making.
