Insufficient Ophthalmology Exposure in Canadian Medical Schools
Main Article Content
Abstract
Ophthalmological education is crucial for physicians of all fields and the current medical school education system in Canada does not provide students with sufficient training to adequately address certain common ocular conditions. Students can graduate their medical school with often one to two weeks of exposure to ophthalmology over the course of their three to four-year degree. A method to improve the ophthalmological training involves implementing established guidelines from the International Council of Ophthalmology, which lists attainable and specific objectives for medical students to complete by graduation.
