Background: Ophthalmology education in medical school has historically neglected the impact of autonomous motivation on student learning and wellbeing. This study aimed to understand ophthalmology educators' consideration and application of student motivation in ophthalmology medical education.
Material And Methods: Lead ophthalmology educators from Australian and New Zealand medical schools participated in an online semi-structured in-depth interview.
Background: Trans-scleral diode laser cycloablation (cyclodiode) is effective in the short-term management of refractory glaucoma where alternative treatments are not feasible. Long-term outcomes of 5-years or more are not well-documented, particularly in relation to intraocular pressure (IOP) control, need for further procedures and complications such as hypotony and phthisis.
Methods: A review was undertaken of patient medical records with refractory glaucoma who underwent cyclodiode at City Eye Centre in Brisbane from 2012 to 2016.
Purpose: To survey the current educational trends and methods of ophthalmology teaching in Australian undergraduate and postgraduate medical schools.
Materials And Methods: Cross-sectional survey; National online survey distributed to Australian university undergraduate and post-graduate medical schools from November 2020 to March 2021. The survey encompassed 35 questions on student demographics, teaching methods, core theoretical topics, clinical skills, and assessment methods in ophthalmology.
