The 2020 update to the NANOS neuro-ophthalmology curriculum includes revisions to all sections of the curriculum previously written in 2006. We have streamlined the sections to make it relevant to neuro-ophthalmologists from different training backgrounds and consistent with United States and international training requirements. We have included recent developments in our specialty and eliminated redundant items within the curriculum. 2020 NANOS Curriculum published in the JNO: J Neuroophthalmol. 2020 Sep;40(3):e29-e30. doi: 10.1097/WNO.0000000000001033

The goal of the curriculum is to provide a framework that defines the scope of work expected of a practicing neuro-ophthalmologist. The curriculum should not be considered an exhaustive list of conditions that a neuro-ophthalmologist may expect to see. Rather, we expect it to serve as the recommended educational plan for fellowship training and self-directed learning for practicing neuro-ophthalmologists throughout their career. It is our expectation that this curriculum will provide a framework for development and/or revision of existing curricula for medical students and residents (specifically, neurology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and neurosurgery). The specific learning objectives is expected to be different for students, residents, and fellows. The curriculum is weighted with the following levels:

  • Basic or Level 1: We suggest this level for students (medical, optometry or neuroscience graduates) and practitioners who want to gain a basic understanding of the visual and nervous system.
  • Intermediate or Level 2: We suggest this level for trainees who have a basic knowledge of the visual and nervous system. This level would be appropriate for residents or fellows in ophthalmology, neurology, and optometry. Some of the educational content will also be appropriate for trainees in otolaryngology, neurosurgery, neuro-oncology and physiatry.
  • Advanced or Level 3: This is the recommended curricula for fellowship training in neuro-ophthalmology. In addition, we suggest this level for practitioners who wish to develop and maintain expertise in neuro-ophthalmology and neuro-otology.
  • *: this superscript indicates that recommended level may be modified for a resident in either neurology or ophthalmology.
