“…The timing of ophthalmology teaching in undergraduate degrees was reported to occur mostly in Year 3, while in postgraduate degrees there is more emphasis towards the latter part of the degree. Postgraduate sequencing of ophthalmic teaching is therefore more aligned with research that suggests that the retention of clinical skills can be maximized within a crowded curriculum by positioning it closer towards internship . Differing areas of curriculum emphasis in undergraduate and postgraduate medical courses may also contribute to the differences in reported confidence, and remains an area for further research.…”
JMOs and medical students do not show high levels of confidence in basic ophthalmological clinical skills and knowledge, and report inadequate emphasis on ophthalmology during medical school.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
