Enhancing Eye Care Education at UCT: A Comprehensive Overview of Programs
The University of Cape Town (UCT) has developed a range of educational programs focused on community eye health, including workshops for registrars and post-graduate diploma courses. These initiatives have evolved over the years to incorporate modern practices such as the ICEH.OER course model. The Master of Public Health (MPH) program at UCT also offers a specialized track in community eye health. These educational efforts have been refined and customized to enhance eye care services and epidemiology in South Africa.
