This Curriculum Handbook must be read in conjunction with the OST Curriculum 2024, which describes the scope of practice of an ophthalmologist completing the curriculum – divided into domains of professional skills and knowledge – as well as the level of performance expected at critical advancement points. Assessments are mapped to high-level, overarching Learning Outcomes which define four advancement points, three during training (Levels 1-3) and one (Level 4) before completion of the programme. A suite of supplementary syllabi provides detailed descriptors for all the activities that will be assessed during training.
