TitreFeatures of ophthalmic training in ten European countries
Abstract Nr.3014
ButTo compare features of ophthalmology training programs in ten different Western European countries.
MéthodesTen ophthalmologists with personal knowledge of all ten systems contributed. Features examined included career pathway, duration of training, surgical training, governing bodies, and examination structure.
RésultatsA 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.
ConclusionDoctors 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.
