ANNOUNCEMENT: New COECSA/OF Examination Collaboration

We are pleased to announce that COECSA and Ophthalmology Foundation (OF) have agreed on a framework for collaboration in the development, administration, and evaluation of joint Part 1A: Basic/Visual Sciences and Part 1B: Optics, Refraction, and Instruments Written examinations.

This is in line with our shared common goal to strengthen ophthalmic education, harmonize assessment standards, and support the next generation of eye health professionals across the region.

Through this partnership, candidates will now undertake Part 1A: Basic/Visual Sciences and Part 1B: Optics, Refraction, and Instruments Written examinations through the joint/merged COECSA/OF Examination platform, while the COECSA Part 2: Clinical Ophthalmology Exam will continue to be administered on the current standalone platform.

Therefore, COECSA Part 2: Clinical Exams will continue to be administered every year in January and June, respectively; while Part 1A Basic Sciences and Part 1B Optics will now be offered JOINTLY in March and September every year.

With this collaboration, the pathway to COECSA Fellowship and OF Fellowship respectively, will be as per attached.

We look forward to this great new chapter that will further strengthen our collaborative efforts to deliver quality, standardized international examinations, and open new opportunities for Ophthalmology in the region.

Best wishes,
