As the AUPO-FCC enters its second decade, I would like to thank all the programs and fellows for their support and cooperation in the compliance process.
Over the last decade the FCC process has grown with the support of the major subspecialty societies:
- Cornea Society
- American Glaucoma Society (AGS)
- North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society (NANOS)
- American Association of Ophthalmic Oncologists and Pathologists (AAOOP)
- American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS)
- Retina Society
- Macula Society
- American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS)
- American Uveitis Society (AUS)
I would also like to introduce the new officers of the
AUPO-FCC:
- Michael W. Belin, MD – Chair
- Hans E. Grossniklaus, MD – Vice Chair
- Andrew G. Lee, MD – Treasurer
- Nisha Acharya, MD – Secretary
- Jennifer E. Thorne, MD – Chair Review Committee
- Elmer Y. Tu, MD – Vice Chair Review Committee
As the new Chair of the AUPO-FCC, I would welcome any suggestions or feedback as we are continually
striving to improve the process. The web page www.aupofcc.org offers a wealth of information including
seven years of cumulative fellow surgical volume. We are currently in the process of evaluating the web experience and look to improve on the ease and functionality in the future.
Michael W. Belin, MD
Chair, AUPO-FCC
