Abstract Background The provision of eye care in the developing world has been constrained by the limited number of trained personnel and by professional cultures. The use of personnel with specific but limited training as members of multidisciplinary teams has become increasingly important as health systems seek to extract better value from their investments in personnel. Greater positive action is required to secure more efficient allocation of roles and resources. The supply of professional health workers is a factor of the training system so it stands to reason that more cost-effective flexible and available education methods are needed. This paper presents a highly flexible competencies-based multiple entry and exit training system that matches and adapts training to the prevailing population and service needs and demands while lifting overall standards over time and highlighting the areas of potential benefit. Methods Literature surveys and interviews in five continents were carried out. Based on this and the author s own experience a encies-based multiple entry and exit scheme for eye care in a developing country
