There is a great need for trained eyecare personnel in the developing world. That is why one of the key Vision 2020 objectives is to build up the eyecare resources in developing countries by providing specialist training, from community level to policy planning at national and regional levels.

The BCPB has two Fellowship Programmes.

Boulter Fellowships provide trained personnel at MSC level.

Prevention of Blindness Fellowships provide both key research outcomes and top level personnel trained to Doctoral level.
