- The study investigates differences in Ophthalmic Knowledge Assessment Program (OKAP) exam scores and surgical exposure among ophthalmology residents pursuing fellowship versus non-fellowship tracks.
- Results indicate that residents aiming for fellowships scored significantly higher on the OKAP exam in multiple categories, particularly in glaucoma and cornea sections.
- Surgical volumes were generally similar between both groups, but fellowship applicants had more experience with specific procedures related to their subspecialty, especially in glaucoma and pediatrics.*
