About the AUPO-MSE
The Association of University Professors of Ophthalmology Medical Student Educators is a group of ophthalmologists concerned with the ophthalmic education of medical students and non-ophthalmologic physicians. Our members include but are not limited to the medical education directors from medical schools in the US and abroad. Our mission includes:
1) to advocate for restoring Ophthalmology to the mainstream core medical school curriculum in all US/Canadian schools.
2) to reaffirm at the dean's level the value of ophthalmology knowledge and skills to the generalist physician
3) to provide a forum for cross-fertilization of ideas for curricular implementation
4) to provide a unified voice for a standardized core of knowledge and skills for every graduate of US and Canadian medical schools
