On behalf of the COS Ergonomics and Injury Prevention Working Group and the Committee on Ophthalmology Residents Ergonomics Education, we are pleased to share with you the 2025–26 CORE Curriculum.
The attached CORE Curriculum Guide outlines six practical and easy-to-implement initiatives designed to promote ergonomic awareness and injury prevention among the residents in your program.
As October marks National Ergonomics Awareness Month, we encourage you to initiate the curriculum during this time. Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to any member of the CORE team. We appreciate your support in fostering resident wellbeing and a healthier ophthalmology workforce.
Warm regards,
CORE members:
