Kathleen Holmes was the co-founder of Glaucoma Australia 30 years ago and was awarded an OAM in 1996 in recognition of her dedication to the glaucoma cause.
The Glaucoma Australia 'Kath Holmes' scholarships assist trainees from Australia to attend, while the ANZGS scholarships assist trainees from developing countries.
We are delighted to award the 'Kath Holmes' scholarship to 4 ophthalmology registrars each year.
- 1 trainee is awarded $2,000 for the best presentation by a Registrar
- 3 trainees are awarded $1,000 to assist with travel expenses to glaucoma related meetings
The scholarship will help fund my second glaucoma fellowship at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, Alabama. This is a part of the US which has some of the most challenging glaucoma cases and I hope to learn as much as possible before coming home to Australia.Dr Alp Atik
