Description

Genentech’s Independent Medical Education team, part of the Roche Group, supports independent, certified education that improves healthcare professionals’ knowledge, competence, and performance. This opportunity focuses on diabetic macular edema (DME), particularly gaps in intravitreal injection training, screening, referral, and ongoing management in rural and community settings lacking retinal subspecialists.

The program seeks practice- and quality-improvement initiatives that build comprehensive and general ophthalmologists’ skills and strengthen interprofessional care coordination. Funded initiatives must provide broad, scalable educational value rather than localized operational consulting or practice-management support. Peer-to-peer resources may include webinars, toolkits, case studies, or accredited modules. Education must remain non-promotional and independent of commercial products, with the accredited provider retaining control over program design, content, execution, and site interactions.
