2023-2024 Basic and Clinical Science Course Complete Set

Clinical Knowledge is Constantly Evolving

Clinical knowledge in the field of ophthalmology is constantly evolving. With new advancements and discoveries being made every year, it is essential for ophthalmologists to stay at the forefront of these developments. The Academy’s 2023-2024 Basic and Clinical Science Course (BCSC) is designed to provide ophthalmologists with the most up-to-date and relevant clinical knowledge.

The BCSC is the result of the collaborative efforts of a community of 100+ ophthalmologists who refine and review the content each year. This ensures that the BCSC is always current and reflects the latest advancements in the field. Practicing ophthalmologists and residents worldwide rely on the BCSC to ensure the highest-quality patient care.

What sets the BCSC apart from other resources is its comprehensive coverage of all aspects of ophthalmology. The BCSC consists of 13 sections, each delving into a specific area of ophthalmology. These sections include topics such as general medicine, fundamentals and principles of ophthalmology, clinical optics and vision rehabilitation, ophthalmic pathology and intraocular tumors, neuro-ophthalmology, pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus, and many more.

The content in each section is presented in a way that is easy to understand and digest. Interactive activities, concise videos and tables, photos and illustrations, and self-assessment questions with answers enhance the learning experience and help reinforce key concepts. The BCSC also offers opportunities for earning AMA PRA Category 1 Credits, allowing ophthalmologists to continue their professional development while studying the materials.

In addition to its widespread use by ophthalmologists and residents, the BCSC has also gained recognition from the European Board of Ophthalmology (EBO). Since 2013, the EBO has recommended the BCSC as the primary educational resource for European trainees and ophthalmologists studying for the annual EBO Diploma Exam. This partnership between the Academy and the EBO has further solidified the BCSC’s position as the standard text for ophthalmology training programs.

Now let’s take a closer look at the sections included in the BCSC Residency Set:
