Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the application and effectiveness of slit-lamp microscope demonstration combined with supervisory clinical teaching in ophthalmology training for general practice residents.Methods:Sixty general practice residents who underwent ophthalmology training in Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from March 2021 to March 2023 were randomly assigned to 2 groups. In the traditional teaching group ( n=29), the teaching was primarily led by the instructors, and trainees observed and recorded the clinical findings under their guidance; while in the combined teaching group ( n=31), the trainees received integrated slit-lamp microscope demonstration and supervisory outpatient teaching. Both groups underwent a unified exit examination after the training, with the scores based on knowledge, diagnostic skills, comprehensive evaluation and overall performance. Additionally, satisfaction with the teaching process was assessed through questionnaires completed by both trainees and instructors. Results:There were no significant differences in gender composition, age and initial exam scores between the two groups (all P>0.05). Upon completion of the training, the combined teaching group scored higher in ophthalmology knowledge, outpatient diagnostic skills, and overall performance compared to the traditional teaching group (all P<0.05). Satisfaction scores from both trainees and instructors were also higher in the combined teaching group compared to the traditional teaching group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The use of slit-lamp microscope demonstration combined with supervisory outpatient teaching can significantly enhance the effectiveness of ophthalmology training for general practice residents.
