Shortage of pediatric ophthalmologists CMAJ 1997;157:634 © 1997 Canadian Medical Association The Canadian Ophthalmological Society (COS) has warned of a pending shortage of pediatric ophthalmologists. In a letter to members in the COS newsletter, Perspectives, Dr. Ian MacDonald, chair of the COS Council on Eye Care, says not only are there not enough pediatric ophthalmologists but also the shortage extends to those in training as well.
