Abstract

OPHTHALMOLOGY RESIDENTS ESPECIALLY FROM NON-PREMIER INSTITUTES OFTEN GO THROUGH CERTAIN PHASES OF ANXIETY WHERE THEY FEEL THAT THEY ARE LACKING MANY ASPECTS OF TRAINING AND FEAR THAT THEY ARE INCOMPETENT COMPARED TO THE REST OF RESIDENTS PASSING OUT FROM HIGH VOLUME INSTITUTES.

THIS INSTRUCTION COURSE IS PRIMARILY MEANT TO HELP THE RESIDENTS TO PLAN THEIR ACADEMICS, TO GET THEM READY FOR EXAMS, TO START RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS DURING RESIDENCY ITSELF AND TO PLAN THEIR FURTHER FELLOWSHIP SUB-SPECIALTIES. MANY OF THE RESIDENTS ARE ALSO UNAWARE OF THE E-LEARNING SOURCES AND ALSO THE SURGICAL TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE OFFLINE. EACH OF THE PANELLIST’S IN THIS IC ARE FROM PREMIERE INSTITUTES AND ARE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN OPHTHALMOLOGY EDUCATION WITH IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE ON THE TOPICS ALLOTTED TO THEM. THIS IC PRIMARILY DISCUSS THE OPTIONS ON HOW TO MAXIMISE THE OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO THEM AND HOW TO PLAN ON FURTHER FELLOWSHIP TRAINING TO FILL THE GAPS OF KNOWLEDGE.
