The Fellowship Compliance Committee (FCC), an AUPO Limited Liability Corporation (LLC), was created in 2005 to provide uniform standards for ophthalmology fellowship training and educational programs. Through these standards, the AUPO FCC offers protection of the public, institutions, and trainees; accountability; and enforcement. To date, nine ophthalmic subspecialties (Cornea, External Diseases & Refractive Surgery; Glaucoma; Medical Retina; Neuro-Ophthalmology; Oculofacial Plastic Surgery; Oncology and Pathology; Pediatric Ophthalmology; Surgical Retina & Vitreous; and Uveitis), supported by ten ophthalmic subspecialty societies, voluntarily participate in the compliance program.
