Objectives:
This seminar is designed to:
- Describe the past and current state of ophthalmological care
in Tibet.
- Describe the history and development of the Tibet Vision Project.
- Describe how the Tibetan Vision Project sustains the high-quality
surgical care delivered in intensive, free-of-charge eye camp
settings in remote areas of Tibet.
- Discuss collaboration with other non-governmental organizations
in re-training surgical eye teams to maximize the training experience
of local medical and surgical teams.
- Discuss the participation of the Tibet Vision Project in local
and national eye care conference venues. This encourages the visibility
of Tibetan colleagues and progressively involves them in planning
their own future for ophthalmic care for their communities.
In addition to the lecture, the Department will
showcase ongoing research by faculty, residents, and students,
which will increase the awareness of current ophthalmic research
being performed at the University of Arizona Department of Ophthalmology.
These poster presentations are designed to: (1) provide cutting-edge
information to scientific and medical community members, and
(2) stimulate discussions that will better shape future research.
