The purpose of the PAAO Leadership Course (Curso de Liderazgo) is to provide both
orientation and skill development to future leaders of national ophthalmology societies affiliated with the PAAO. Only
affiliated National Societies and Affiliated Subspecialty Societies can nominate candidates. Only one candidate per society per year; Candidates may not
self-nominate. Consistent with the recent emphasis on mutual commitments between the PAAO, the National Ophthalmological
Societies, the Affiliated Subspecialty Societies and for this program in particular, we are requiring a financial commitment on the part of both organizations
and the participant. We feel that to optimize the success of this program, a 'buy-in' on the part of all involved will
be crucial for this program.
The ideal candidate will be those doctors in your organization that have demonstrated a willingness to work,
organizational skills, and have a great potential for development. Most importantly, the candidate must have exhibited
dedication and communicty service and interest in your society’s activities. We are sure that you will be able to
identify and send us the name of the person with these prerequisites.
The candidate must:
- be a member in good standing of the National Ophthalmology Society or Affilated Subspecialty Society for at least 3 years;
- be a current Active Member / Miembro Titular of the PAAO;
- be able to attend all designated meetings (minimum of 2 AAO meetings, January work session in San Francisco,
optional PAAO Congress);
- complete a project;
- work with a local mentor.
Deadline for submission of applications is August 12, 2008 (deadline for 2008-2009).
