Training the next generation of eye care professionals

Continuing medical education is crucial for Aravind doctors, who are at the forefront of global policy-making and training the next generation of eye care personnel. To date, Aravind has trained nearly 20,000 people from 87 different countries. In India, 15% of ophthalmologists are Aravind-trained.

We are grateful to the Allene Reuss Memorial Trust, which provides travel grants to Aravind physicians to train with preeminent ophthalmologists at leading eye hospitals throughout the world. This year, Aravind fellows studied at Massachusetts Eye and Ear, Boston, Jules Stein Eye Institute, University of California, Los Angeles, Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute, Baltimore, Kellogg Eye Center, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and others.
