Titel | Features of ophthalmic training in ten European countries |
Abstract Nr. | 3014 |
Doel | To compare features of ophthalmology training programs in ten different Western European countries. |
Methodes | Ten ophthalmologists with personal knowledge of all ten systems contributed. Features examined included career pathway, duration of training, surgical training, governing bodies, and examination structure. |
Resultaten | A number of differences emerged, including length of training (ranging from 4 to 7 years) and numbers of required surgical procedures. The majority of programmes do not stipulate a minimum cataract surgical requirement; where stated, the requirement ranged from 40 to 350 procedures. |
Conclusie | Doctors are able to travel internationally to study and work and this is experienced commonly within ophthalmology. We have outlined the similarities and differences found within training programs in ten different Western European countries. Ophthalmologists and trainers may find it useful to be aware of the structure of training programs elsewhere to become familiar with previous experience of non-national trainees or fellows and to share good practice. |
