RANZCO – Welcomes Indonesian Examiners To Sydney

The Indonesian examiners will observe the RANZCO Advanced Clinical Exam (RACE) on 26-27 March 2015 at the Sydney Eye Hospital as part of an examiner exchange program between RANZCO and Indonesian College of Ophthalmologists. Earlier this year a team led by Christine Younan and consisting of Humayun Baig and Patrick Lockie visited Jakarta to support the national exams as external examiners.

RANZCO is supporting the Indonesian College of Ophthalmology through an examiner exchange program which includes:

1. Indonesian examiners observe clinical ophthalmology exams in Australia, and
2. Australian ophthalmologists participate in Indonesian clinical exams as external examiners.

In this way, knowledge and skills will be gained by Indonesian College of Ophthalmology to assist with the management of their national ophthalmology training program and to build the capacity of their teaching faculty. The exchange of examiners visiting Indonesia and Australia respectively will enhance the standard of eye care and provide an opportunity for Fellows of RANZCO and Fellows of the Indonesian College of Ophthalmology to participate in inter-College activities, allowing for development of networks and sharing of learning.
