Ethics Courses

The Ethical Ophthalmologist Series offers three courses addressing ethical issues in everyday ophthalmology. The courses use an engaging, dynamic approach for practitioners of all ages who require core ophthalmic knowledge in ethics. Users are required to navigate a path of simulated ophthalmic clinical care where routine ethical dilemmas surface in the process of diagnosing and treating the patient. Decision trees, Q&A, and clinical narratives prompt user response to ethical dilemmas before moving forward. Each individual course bears AMA PRA Category 1 credit (1 hour per course) and may be taken once in a 10-yr MOC review cycle. Courses may be repeated in following cycles.

We acknowledge and thank the Jules Stein Eye Institute and the University of Iowa Department of Ophthalmology for providing the majority of the images used in these courses.

The Ethical Ophthalmologist: Informed Consent, Doctor-Patient Relationship & Delegated Services

The process of obtaining informed consent, engendering trust for a meaningful physician-patient relationship, and delegating duties appropriately are the traditional ethical underpinnings of good ophthalmic medical care. These ethical concerns are central to the best interest of the patient and quality of service suffers if these issues are not addressed.
