Abstract:
Ophthalmology rotation is an integral part of standardized training for general practitioners. The duration of ophthalmology training is only half a month in whole 33-month general practice residency training. The main objective of training for general practice residents is to master the basic clinical skills of ophthalmology, to be able to accurately and timely identify eye diseases, especially those requiring urgent treatment, and to prevent the loss of visual function. This article introduces our teaching experience in ophthalmology training for general practice residents accumulated since 2014. We suggest that the trainees should pre-examine patients independently, play a role of standard patients and receive consultation from teachers. We developed a simple patient assessment form for primary care doctors, the patient who got 10 or more points of the form, should be referred to ophthalmological specialists.
