Future ophthalmologists will need to have broad skills to thrive in complex health care organizations. However, training for ophthalmologists does not take advantage of all of the postgraduate years (PGYs). Although the traditional residency years seem to have little excess capacity, enhancing the internship year does offer an opportunity to expand the time for ophthalmology training in the same 4 PGYs. Integrating the internship year into residency would allow control of all of the PGYs, allowing our profession to optimize training for ophthalmology. In this white paper, we propose that we could capture an additional 6 months of training time by integrating basic ophthalmology training into the intern year. This would allow 6 additional months to expand training in areas such as quality improvement or time for "mini-fellowships" to allow graduates to develop a deeper set of skills.
未来的眼科医生需要具备广泛的技能才能在复杂的医疗保健机构中茁壮成长。然而，眼科医生的培训并没有充分利用所有的研究生年限（PGY）。尽管传统的住院医师年限似乎没有多余的能力，但加强实习年确实提供了一个机会，可以在相同的 4 个 PGY 内扩大眼科培训时间。将实习年纳入住院医师规范化培训可以控制所有 PGY，使我们的专业能够优化眼科培训。在本白皮书中，我们提出，我们可以通过将基础眼科培训纳入实习年来获得额外 6 个月的培训时间。这将允许额外的 6 个月时间来扩大质量改进或“迷你奖学金”的时间，以使毕业生发展出更深入的技能集。
