The Royal College of Ophthalmologists Diploma in Ophthalmology Examination

The Royal College of Ophthalmologists has introduced an examination leading to the award of the Diploma in Ophthalmology (DRCOphth). The examination will be held twice a year, in June and November.

This diploma is aimed at those not wishing to pursue a career as a consultant ophthalmologist in the United Kingdom. It should, therefore, be of interest to all doctors with an interest in ophthalmology working outside the European Union.

Details are available from the Examinations Office, The Royal College of Ophthalmologists, 17 Cornwall Terrace, London NW1 4QW.
