PART B: INTERACTIVE MYOPIA MANAGEMENT SESSION AND SELF EVALUATION

Participation at one relevant Myopia Management related workshop or peer review is needed to
complete Part B of the BCLA Myopia Management Certificate. For the UK, the session needs to be a
GOC approved CET, validated with CE number. For overseas members, any relevant country accredited
course is accepted.

Opportunities will be available to attend relevant sessions at various (online) BCLA events, though you
may also attend a non-BCLA led session, just as long as it meets the Part B course criteria. Note also
that any relevant workshop attended within the last six months will be considered as eligible for
passing the Part B section of the course too.

After attending one relevant session you will be required to submit proof of attendance (session
details to include title, speaker, date and CET reference number) and a self-reflection statement
(minimum 100 words). The self-reflection statement should outline the knowledge learnt at the
workshop/peer review session, including how you will utilise your key learning to deliver best practice
care for dry eye patients.

You would need to have completed and passed both Parts A and B of the course prior to being eligible
to sit the Part C exams.
