Health care and medicine are in tremendous flux. Survival of the specialty of ophthalmology in a traditional sense is in question. Positive adaptation to our new environment must occur. A central focus of ophthalmology has always been its commitment to excellence in education. Residency education in ophthalmology is at a high level. Far more random and non-individualized education characterizes continuing education in ophthalmology and all of medicine. The fundamental approach is to base our future on personal accountability and excellence in providing consummate care. I have proposed a more systematic, individually oriented approach to continuing education in ophthalmology. A combined effort by the American Academy of Ophthalmology with other ophthalmic organizations and the individual ophthalmologist would provide individual assessment and educational programs based on practice setting and clinical emphasis.
医疗保健和医学正处于巨大的变革之中。传统意义上眼科学专业的存续受到质疑。我们必须积极适应新环境。眼科学一直以来的核心关注点在于其对卓越教育的承诺。眼科住院医师教育水平很高。而眼科学以及整个医学领域的继续教育则更具随意性且缺乏个性化。基本方法是将我们的未来建立在个人责任感以及提供精湛医疗服务的卓越表现之上。我提出了一种更系统、以个人为导向的眼科学继续教育方法。美国眼科学会与其他眼科组织以及眼科医生个人共同努力，将根据实践环境和临床重点提供个人评估和教育项目。
