Medical students improved ophthalmoscopy skills and confidence through eye simulation. This training is most effective with instructor guidance, enhancing clinical readiness.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Ophthalmology Training
  • Simulation-Based Learning

Background:

  • Ophthalmoscopy is a critical medical skill for students.
  • Students often struggle with retinal visualization and patient practice.
  • Developing effective ophthalmoscopy training methods is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the benefit of an eye simulation experience for medical students' ophthalmoscopy skills.
  • To assess the impact of instructor presence on the value of simulation training.

Main Methods:

  • Second-year medical students participated in an ophthalmoscopy simulation.
  • Instruction on ophthalmoscope use and practice with normal/pathological retinas were provided.
  • Pre- and post-session questionnaires and senior year surveys were used to assess skill development and value.

Main Results:

  • 64% of students participated with an instructor versus 12% without.
  • Statistically significant improvements were noted in self-rated skills post-simulation.
  • Students reported high value and increased confidence in their ophthalmoscopy abilities.

Conclusions:

  • Ophthalmoscopy simulation enhances student confidence and skill.
  • Instructor-led simulation provides the greatest benefit.
  • Simulation experience positively impacts clinical application of ophthalmoscopy skills.
