The views of three groups of British doctors on the content and duration of an undergraduate ophthalmology course were identified by means of a questionnaire. Non-ophthalmic hospital consultants considered the duration of a course should be approximately two weeks shorter than general practitioners and ophthalmologists. There were also significant differences in opinion between ophthalmologists and the other two groups on course content, but results indicated that emphasis should be placed on topics involving the identification of treatable sight-threatening conditions, and the primary eye care function of recognition and management of common external eye disorders.
通过问卷调查确定了三组英国医生对本科眼科课程内容和时长的看法。非眼科医院的顾问认为,该课程的时长应比全科医生和眼科医生建议的大约短两周。在课程内容方面,眼科医生与其他两组之间也存在显著的意见分歧,但结果表明,应重点关注涉及识别可治疗的视力威胁性疾病以及识别和管理常见外眼疾病的初级眼保健功能等主题。
