Article Synopsis
- The project aims to explore global health programs within U.S. ophthalmology residencies, focusing on their goals, services, and the educational experiences provided to residents.
- A survey sent to residency program directors revealed that only 10% responded, with most programs offering limited didactic time on global health and a mix of engagement opportunities for residents.

Non-military government agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have made great strides in the evaluation of humanitarian medical work, and have learned valuable lessons regarding monitoring and evaluation (M&E) that may be equally as valuable to military medical personnel. We reviewed the recent literature by the worldwide humanitarian community regarding the art and science of M&E, with focus toward military applications. The successes and failures of past humanitarian efforts have resulted in prolific analyses.
