IMPORTANT NOTE:
A resident physician enrolled in an ACGME accredited residency program in ophthalmology or in a one year preliminary program before entering an ophthalmology residency, or a graduate of an AAMC or CAMCS (CAMCE) accredited medical school or resident physician participating actively in a post-graduate research program under the direction of an Active Member or Emeritus Member, may apply to become a Resident Member. An Active Member or Emeritus Member shall verify the applicant's role in their program or research by completing a reference, once the application is submitted.
