The Canadian Ophthalmological Society's Continuing Medical Education Committee developed these modules for independent study. Each set has a firm set of learning objectives and a series of self-assessment questions to assess their effectiveness.

These modules are expected to be used

  • by established family physicians or peditricians
  • by medical students
  • in family practice, pediatric or emergency residency training programs
  • by ophthalmologists for planned lectures or related courses
