Consortium

​​Thank you for your interest in joining the Global Ophthalmology Consortium. ​​​​​​​​​As members of the Global Ophthalmology Consortium, we will work together to build a stronger community focused on global ophthalmology. We hope to ensure that young ophthalmologists have access to a scholar-type pathway through global ophthalmology and to enhance pathways for your faculty and department in the field.

 

Membership benefits include:

• One (1) faculty representative to serve on the Consortium.

• Two (2) faculty representatives to serve on the Summit Program Committee.

• Institution name on the Global Ophthalmology Summit website, in Summit communications and all conference materials.

• Two (2) registration fees for members of your department (faculty, fellows or residents).

• Potential to serve as host sites for future Summits in their city/region.

​

To support consortium activities and programs, including the Summit, annual consortium dues will be $5,000 USD. The annual fee is due by June 20 each year and will be processed through the American Academy of Ophthalmology*.
