In 2013 the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists partnered with the Cambodian Ophthalmological Society (COS) to develop a continuing professional development program for COS using a college-college twinning model. The program was reviewed seven years after launch. No evidenceof a functioning CPD program was identified. Reasons may include lack of engagement by ophthalmologists and lack of COS resources. A planning checklistfor international CPD collaborations is discussed.
