Cure Blindness Project attracts the best and brightest in the field of Global Ophthalmology through partnerships with leading academic institutions, notable key opinion leaders and top-of-class surgeons. We also work with like-minded corporate leaders who are as committed to curing blindness as we are.
Current faculty in good standing from these esteemed institutions lead clinical and classroom training to build local capacity in our partner countries. They donate their time and expertise to further advance the field by training the next generation of doctors through surgical outreaches that provide direct patient care and through training sessions that enhance clinical knowledge.
These esteemed instructors also mentor medical students and early career doctors from across sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
