The new post-graduate-level course is designed to provide optometrists across Australia and New Zealand with access to comprehensive higher-level study through self-paced learning, supported by e-learning materials such as online lectures, discussion forums and donstration videos.A team of presenters from across Australia and the UK will deliver a range of topics, including current information on soft and hard lenses, lens fitting and special lenses. Presenters include Professor James Wolffsohn, Associate Professor Richard Vojlay, Cornea and Contact Lens Society of Australia national president Ms Jessica Chi and Dr Adrian Bruce, ACO’s lead contact lens optometrist.Offering a flexible, rote learning syllabus, the certificate will feature a practical local clinical experience placent within Australia and/or New Zealand. Optometrists from across Australia will be able to study at their own pace and complete the certificate course within the recommended four to six months.Ms Jolanda de Jong, ACO’s general manager of professional development, commented, In-depth study is a great opportunity for optometrists who have a real interest in a particular area to gain an extensive understanding in their field of expertise. It clearly donstrates to patients that their optometrist has been motivated to undertake study and is up to date with current best practice and knowledge. That will give th confidence they are receiving the best care available. Graduates will receive post-nominals upon completion of the full course and it is accredited for 48 Australian CPD points, including eight therapeutic points.
