“…Teachers, in their personal capacity, may be teaching students and explaining surgical principles while in the OT, but a formal orientation/training before the student enters the OT will be of benefit and is also desired by the student, as documented by a survey published in Indian Journal of Ophthalmology.

Settings and Design:This study documents a survey of final-year ophthalmology postgraduates on the subject of their surgical training and their future plans after residency.Purpose:This survey aimed to answer the question, What is the present status of surgical training in ophthalmic training centers? by obtaining information from students about (1) various methods used in surgical training (2) numbers and types of surgeries performed by them in the training centers (3) their plans after residency.Materials and Methods:A questionnaire containing 21 questions was distributed to 155 students attending an intensive 4-day teaching program. The questions related to orientation training, wet lab training, facilities for training, free surgical camps and detailed information about numbers and types of surgeries observed and performed. Completed questionnaires were collected, and responses analyzed.Results:One hundred and seven completed responses were analyzed. The majority had not received formal orientation training. More than half had undergone wet lab training. Most residents performed their first ophthalmic surgery during the 1st year of residency and went to the operation theatre multiple times a week. Most of the students planned to undergo further training after residency. More than half of the students found their surgical training to be fair or satisfactory.Conclusions:The number and frequency of ophthalmic surgeries done by residents appear satisfactory, but further efforts from trainers on enhancing the quality and range of surgical training would benefit students and improve their satisfaction.

BACKGROUNDOphthalmology is a subject where surgical techniques are continuously changing and advancing rapidly. 1,2,3 Passing on the knowledge and skills of new techniques to succeeding generations effectively is both a responsibility and necessity of teachers and trainers in the field. 4 This study was conducted to assess the knowledge gained by the undergraduates during the ophthalmic OT posting, to collect the feedback and identify gaps in their training and thus improve the teaching and learning activity. METHODSThis is a cross sectional study done among 250 undergraduate students who have completed their ophthalmic OT posting with a self-administered questionnaire. RESULTSMajority have answered correctly regarding quantity of cataract surgeries being done per day, but very few have seen surgeries other than cataract. Majority were able to follow the cataract surgery steps by watching through CC TV with difficulty to understand few steps. CONCLUSIONSMost of the students are satisfied but believe that there is a further need for improvement of teaching, providing audio aids of ongoing surgery, allowing the students to watch surgery through observing microscope. Lesser evidence of other surgeries might be because of the reason that most of them are being done after their OT hours (after 12 pm). HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE:Vishnuvardhan Reddy B, Rachana M.

Purpose:To know the perception of young ophthalmologists about their dissertation and academics during residency training in order to improve the research output during present residency programs in India.Methods:A survey was conducted by Academic and Research Committee of the All India Ophthalmological Society, the world's second largest ophthalmic professional's organization, in 2014–2016 of young ophthalmologists (those who completed residency between 2005 and 2012) to gauge usefulness of dissertation or thesis during postgraduate residency.Results:There were 1005 respondents, of whom 531 fulfilled inclusion criteria. On a scale of 0–10, residents rated level of supervision of their dissertation as adequate (mean 5.9/10, standard deviation [SD] = 3.1, median = 6). The level of infrastructure available was for dissertation rated as 5.9/10 (median = 7, SD = 3.1), and 6.2/10 was the score that residents said about value added by the dissertation (median = 7). The dissertation was presented at local (33.5%), state (28.1%), national (15.4%), and international (4%) levels. Students, not supervisors, did most of the local and state level presentations. It was published in some forms at local 210 (39.5%), state (140, 26.4%), national (94, 17.7%), and international (39, 7.3%) levels. On a scale of 0–4, seminars (3/4) and case presentations were (3/4) rated higher than didactic lectures (2.2/4), journal clubs (2.2/4), and wet laboratory (1.1/4).Conclusion:Peer-reviewed publications from Indian residency training dissertations were few. Residents felt dissertation added value to their training, but there was a huge range among the responses. Journal clubs and wet laboratories were not graded high in academic programs, unlike seminars and case presentations.
