This two year, part-time masters programme is taught entirely online and leads to the degree of Master of Surgery (ChM).
It is offered by the University of Edinburgh in partnership with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
The programme has been developed with the support of NHS Education for Scotland (NES).
Who is this programme for?
The ChM is designed to support advanced ophthalmology specialist trainees in the UK and registrars/residents in ophthalmology, internationally.
This is achieved through a curriculum which recognises your subspecialist ophthalmic interests in preparation for exit examination and hospital-based practice.
Career opportunities
The programme will offer an alternative to clinical / laboratory research training if you do not wish to take time out of training.
It will develop your academic portfolio and facilitate medical/surgical research projects essential to a research active career.
The ChM programme is designed to align with the membership and fellowship examination curricula of the RCSEd, ICO and RCOphth and prepare you for your exit professional examinations.
The award of ChM will highlight your commitment to continuing professional development and will ensure a competitive edge when applying for consultant positions.
A medical degree (MBChB or equivalent) recognised by the General Medical Council. You should also be based in a supervised specialist training programme in ophthalmology.
