Fellowship Program

The CSO Board invites you to enroll in the Fellowship program. Our goal is to assist you in the Fellowship process and to make completion of Fellowship status in the College of Syntonic Optometry a pleasant learning experience through which you can enhance your knowledge and expertise in Optometric Phototherapy.

Fellowship Requirements and Application

What are the Fellowship requirements: a FELLOW is a member in good standing for at least three years who has submitted and presented three case studies of the application of Optometric Phototherapy treatment alone (that are accepted to be of Fellowship grade as determined by a vote of the Board of Trustees on recommendation by the Board of Examiners) and passed an oral examination on the principles of Syntonics by the Board of Examiners.

Fellowship candidates have a time frame of up to 5 years to complete all the following requirements. The candidate is required to complete all the requirements of one level before starting the next level and must complete 101, 201, and attend at least 3 annual meetings within those 5 years.

Candidates, who have successfully completed all the requirements for Fellowship in CSO will be referred to the CSO Board of Trustees on recommendation of the Board of Examiners for formal recognition as Fellow members of the College of Syntonic Optometry.
