Current training models are limited by an unstructured curriculum, financial costs, human costs, and time constraints. With the newly mandated resident surgical competency, training programs are struggling to find viable methods of assessing and documenting the surgical skills of trainees. Virtual-reality technologies have been used for decades in flight simulation to train and assess competency, and there has been a recent push in surgical specialties to incorporate virtual-reality simulation into residency programs. These efforts have culminated in an FDA-approved carotid stenting simulator. What role virtual reality will play in the evolution of ophthalmology surgical curriculum is uncertain. The current apprentice system has served the art of surgery for over 100 years, and we foresee virtual reality working synergistically with our current curriculum modalities to streamline and enhance the resident's learning experience.
当前的培训模式受到课程结构不合理、财务成本、人力成本和时间限制的制约。随着新规定的住院医师手术能力要求，培训项目正在努力寻找可行的方法来评估和记录学员的手术技能。虚拟现实技术已经在飞行模拟中使用了几十年，用于培训和评估能力，最近外科专业领域一直在推动将虚拟现实模拟纳入住院医师培训项目。这些努力最终促成了一款获得美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）批准的颈动脉支架置入模拟器。虚拟现实在眼科手术课程的发展中将扮演什么角色尚不确定。当前的师徒制已经为外科学服务了100多年，我们预计虚拟现实将与我们当前的课程模式协同发挥作用，以简化和提升住院医师的学习体验。
