Summary
This study identified 25 essential ophthalmology technical procedures for simulation-based training. The prioritized list guides the development of structured ophthalmology curricula for improved surgical skills.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Medical Education
- Surgical Simulation
Background:
- Simulation-based training is increasingly vital for ophthalmology technical skills.
- Structured curricula are needed to guide the development of effective training programs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and prioritize technical procedures for inclusion in an ophthalmology simulation-based curriculum.
- To establish a consensus on essential skills for ophthalmology residents.
Main Methods:
- A three-round Delphi process involving key opinion leaders in Danish ophthalmology education.
- Procedures were identified, characterized (frequency, risk, simulation feasibility), and prioritized.
Main Results:
- Sixty-five procedures were refined to 25 prioritized technical skills.
- Therapeutic procedures like intravitreal injections and laser therapies were highly prioritized.
- Key diagnostic procedures included ocular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Conclusions:
- A prioritized list of 25 technical procedures for simulation-based training in ophthalmology was established.
- This list serves as a guide for developing future ophthalmology training programs to ensure competency.

Nursing organizations play a vital role in representing nurses working in specialized clinical settings, such as the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN).
The AACN emphasizes a healthy work environment through six standards to achieve an optimal patient outcome. The standards are appropriate staffing, meaningful recognition, collaboration, authentic leadership, effective communication, and decision-making. In addition, AACN provides certification programs, webinars, journals, and...

Nursing organizations assume a significant role in consistently developing the nursing profession through education, research studies, establishing practice standards, and reforming health policies. Typically, nursing organizations operate at the regional, national, and international levels. For example, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) represents more than 28 million nurses worldwide. In contrast, the American Nurses Association (ANA) is a membership organization representing nurses...

Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which...

The pre-procedure steps of handwashing include removing jewelry and rolling up sleeves. However, many organizations allow staff to wear wedding rings.
The hand washing procedure itself includes the following steps. First, cover cuts, if any, on hands with a waterproof dressing. Cuts and abrasions can become contaminated with bacteria hindering the ability to clean the area thoroughly. In addition, repeated hand washing can worsen an injury. The nails must be short and clean, without nail...
