ST - Competent Medical Retina
ST - Competent Medical Retina is one of Susrut's flagship National programmes, built around the same 1:1 supervised operating-room model that has trained thousands of ophthalmic professionals since 2010. Class sizes are kept small enough that every participant gets real console time, not just a seat in the gallery — feedback is given case-by-case, immediately after each session, while the details are still fresh. This training is part of Susrut's broader mission: reducing avoidable blindness by making sure every ophthalmologist who completes a Susrut programme is genuinely, not just nominally, competent in National. Trainees also get access to a growing video library of graded cases from previous batches, useful for revisiting technique variations and complications outside of scheduled session hours.

Eligibility Criteria
- ➜Prior exposure to basic diagnostic instrumentation is expected, though prior surgical experience is not a prerequisite for entry-level batches.
- ➜Applicants are expected to attend the full duration of the course — partial attendance batches are not offered for this programme.
- ➜A valid medical registration in ophthalmology (or the relevant allied field) is required before enrollment.
Description
- ➜Every batch is assessed against the ICO-OSCAR international scoring standard, so a trainee's progress is comparable across cohorts, not just self-reported.
- ➜Faculty-to-trainee ratios are kept deliberately low throughout this programme so feedback stays specific and immediate rather than generic.
- ➜Susrut Eye Foundation & Research Centre has been conducting structured surgical training since 2010, with a specific focus on measurable, repeatable outcomes rather than one-off workshops.
