Since 1941, the Edward Harkness Eye Institute of Columbia University has offered the Basic & Clinical Science Course in Ophthalmology, which topically covers the Basic and Clinical Science Course of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. While focusing on ophthalmology resident and fellow learning, it has also proven effective in communicating foundational knowledge and the latest scientific findings to the vision science community. The curriculum is revised annually to include the most recent scientific advances and controversial developments in the field.
The course lasts four weeks and will be held from January 6 to 31, 2025 at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York. An international faculty of more than 80 clinicians and scientists is chosen based on expertise, clarity of presentation, and visual aids. In addition to lectures, the B&CSCO includes a two-day dissection lab, a phacoemulsification lab, a glaucoma surgery lab, a hands-on imaging workshop, and two days of instruction in retinoscopy and refraction.
