INTERNATIONAL SPECIALIZATION COURSE IN REFRACTIVE, CORNEA AND LENS SURGERY
INTERNATIONAL SPECIALIZATION COURSE IN REFRACTIVE, CORNEA AND LENS SURGERY
The International University Specialization Course in Refractive, Cornea, and Lens Surgery, aims to provide an integral online education, developed in a framework of a suitable and modern e-learning platform. In our course, we offer a comprehensive program that ranges from the basic sciences of refractive surgery, such as Ocular Anatomy, Physiology, and Optics, to the advanced methods of surgical correction of cataracts, corneal and refractive surgeries, as well as the management of their complications.
The didactic material is created with an evidence-based data methodology, predominantly in the field of refractive, cataract and cornea surgery, and provides the necessary integrated knowledge on the subjects of Refractive, Cornea, and Lens surgery for the clinical performance of a well-prepared and modern refractive surgeon.
Along the Course, you will have access to the theoretical approach of the main areas of study (Refractive, Corneal, and Lens Surgeries, and an Advanced Keratoconus Course). After this, you will have a compulsory final evaluation.
Also, along the Course, among other outstanding features, there are more than one hundred and twenty-five multimedia classes -scientifically evidence-based – with updated peer-reviewed articles, evaluations in each module, and permanently open forums for medical discussions on any topic or question arising from the material of our course. Moreover, there are also activities related to the analysis of the outcomes of refractive surgical procedures.
Apart from the Course and independently from it, you may also apply for the practical part, undertaking 60 hours of on-site observership as first assistant in Refractive, Corneal, and Lens Surgeries. In this part, you will learn not only the details of the office consultation/organization activities but also will observe and assist in the operating room. This activity is on demand and you may apply to it directly once you have registered for the Course through our Academic Secretary office. This observership will be performed in Vissum Miranza Alicante or at any of the other international centers that collaborate with the Course worldwide.
Following the correct completion of the course, you will receive an official University Certificate in Refractive, Cornea, and Lens Surgery, issued and recognized with 20 ECTs credits by the Miguel Hernandez University of Alicante, Spain.
We are convinced that this University Course and its official Certification is an opportunity for the international ophthalmology community, and will cover the gap that today exists in many Ophthalmology teaching programs regarding a comprehensive approach to the knowledge on the subspecialty of Refractive , Cornea and Lens Surgery.
Objectives of the course:
- To offer a comprehensive review of fundamental clinical and scientific evidence-based knowledge related to Refractive Surgery.
- To provide a didactic comprehensive educational program about the fundamentals and advances of modern Refractive Surgery.
- To offer updated information about refractive topics related to lens surgery.
- To offer updated information about those relevant corneal surgery topics related to Refractive Surgery.
- To incorporate evidence-based medical concepts following international guidelines for the clinical practice in Refractive, Cornea, and Lens surgery.
- To offer certified information about the use of Good Clinical Practices standards in the clinical practice and especially in relation to clinical trials in Refractive, Cornea, and Lens surgery.
- To create an interactive network channel between students and a panel of international consultants and professors at a global level.
- To integrate the students that follow the Course in research projects related to topics of the course.
- To enhance the relevance of continued and self-medical e-education.
- To help the students reach a level of knowledge in the theoretical framework necessary to establish a solid future practical fellowship in the topics of the Course.
