Academic Clinical Programme (EYE ACP)

The key aims of EYE ACP are:

• Develop into an international eye centre that is within the top 10 centres in the world in clinical service and top five in the world in research output in five years
• Establish a three-pronged mission to deliver excellence in eye care, teaching and research
• Build a sustainable track record of high-quality education and research programmes
• Identify and develop the next generation of academically-focused clinicians, clinician educators and clinician scientists / investigators, who will play leadership roles in the EYE ACP

EYE ACP will develop outreach programmes to countries where eye care is limited and provide development support to fill critical manpower gaps in these countries.

In the longer term, EYE ACP's initiatives aim to propel SNEC/SERI into a world-class leader in the eye-related research, education and patient care.
