Curriculum in Neuro-Ophthalmic Principles for National Football League Game Officials: Comparison of Pretraining and Posttraining Ratings of Knowledge.

Background: We hypothesize that creation of a structured curriculum in neuro-ophthalmology principles might improve self-rated learner satisfaction and knowledge base of National Football League (NFL) game officials. Our initial objective is to create the said curriculum in coordination with game official experts and staff at the NFL to increase levels of understanding of neuro-ophthalmology principles. We reviewed the prior published literature on applicable neuro-ophthalmic principles in professional sports.
