    This study used a consensus technique to determine essential ophthalmology curriculum content for undergraduates. General practitioners had higher expectations than specialists for the basic competencies taught.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • University departments typically determine undergraduate curriculum content, relying solely on specialists.
    • There is a need to incorporate broader professional perspectives into curriculum development.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine consensus on essential content for undergraduate ophthalmology education.
    • To compare curriculum requirements perceived by general practitioners and ophthalmology specialists.

    Main Methods:

    • A consensus technique was employed, gathering input from a diverse group of medical doctors.
    • Participants included ophthalmology specialists, other medical specialists, and general practitioners.

    Main Results:

    • Substantial agreement exists on core content for undergraduate ophthalmology curricula.

  • General practitioners expressed more demanding requirements for undergraduate training compared to specialists.
  • Ophthalmologists were found to be the least demanding regarding undergraduate curriculum content.

    • Conclusions:

    • The consensus technique is a practical method for curriculum construction in ophthalmology.
    • Incorporating diverse professional views, particularly from general practitioners, can enhance undergraduate medical education.
