AUSCRS ADVANCED TRAINEE PROGRAM 2024

A successful ophthalmologist is often considered to be a combination of an artist and a scientist, but most also must become a business person.

Current ophthalmology training programs provide minimal knowledge about setting up and running a private practice, or how to make good financial decisions. The Business of Ophthalmology is basically ignored until you suddenly are thrown in the deep end.

The 2024 Advanced Trainee Day provided scholarship recipients with presentations and discussions from experts in these fields of business.

Our record number of Trainees learnt about how to make decisions when setting up in private practice, and financial planning. There were also clinical updates and a chance to network with the AUSCRS committee members and international guests.
