Welcome to the Association of University Professors of Ophthalmology Fellowship Compliance Committee (AUPO FCC) Website. The AUPO FCC, a Limited Liability Corporation, is a non-profit professional medical organization committed to the establishment of ophthalmology training standards in fellowship programs. The AUPO FCC offers a compliance system focused on uniform educational standards, protection of the public, protection of institutions, protection of trainees, accountability and enforcement. The compliance process is voluntary and financed by participating fellowship programs, subspecialty societies and the AUPO. All subspecialties in ophthalmology are encouraged to participate in the AUPO FCC.

This website is designed to provide information on the compliance standards of training for post-residency fellowship programs, provide online registration for new programs and programs scheduled for periodic review, and provide an online evaluation of programs from graduating fellows.

The FCC was established in 2005. Pediatric Ophthalmology and Cornea, External Disease and Refractive Surgery were the first subspecialties to participate in the AUPO FCC system. Glaucoma and Neuro-Ophthalmology will partcipate for the first time in 2006.

Program guidelines, and the ON-LINE APPLICATION for fellowship programs, are posted on the FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS page. You can access that page by clicking on the FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS box in the banner above.
