North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Fellowship programs (last updated December 2014):
The following programs are AUPO Certified [approved by the Association of University Professors of Ophthalmology (AUPO) Fellowship
Compliance Committee (FCC)].
Although the AUPO FCC compliance process is entirely voluntary, NANOS strongly endorses the concept of standardization and quality in neuro-ophthalmic fellowship education.
NANOS through our Fellowship Committee has defined a set of criteria for our subspecialty constituting standards for fellowship training that include curriculum as well as research
and clinical experience. Note that AUPO compliance does not apply to Canadian fellowships.
