BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study aims to benchmark the training programs of European ophthalmology residents.
SUBJECTS/METHODS: An online survey, aimed at European ophthalmology residents in training and those within two years of completion, was sent through the national representatives of the European Society of Ophthalmology, Young Ophthalmologists section (SOE-YO). The study involved 214 subjects representing 36 of the 44 European countries offering ophthalmology training programs.
Among the surveyed, 74.8% of participants had an official national curriculum; 55.8% had a national specialty examination to accredit their training as ophthalmologists. 45.8% were satisfied or very satisfied with the clinical skills acquired, while 42.1% were completely dissatisfied with the surgical skills achieved. Considering the 4th year residents (mean duration of the residency), many of them did not perform phacoemulsification surgery (34%), pterygium excision (46.9%), or repair of eyelid laceration (31.3%).
There is great heterogeneity in the competencies achieved by residents in training according to their country of origin, especially in terms of surgical competences.
背景/目的：本研究旨在为欧洲眼科住院医师培训计划设定基准。
通过欧洲眼科协会青年眼科医师分会（SOE-YO）的国家代表，向正在接受培训或完成培训后两年内的欧洲眼科住院医师发送了一份在线调查。该研究共涉及 214 名参与者，代表了提供眼科培训计划的 44 个欧洲国家中的 36 个。
在所调查的人群中，74.8%的参与者有官方的国家课程；55.8%有国家专业考试来认证他们的眼科培训。45.8%对获得的临床技能感到满意或非常满意，而 42.1%对获得的手术技能完全不满意。考虑到第四年的住院医师（住院医师培训的平均时长），他们中的许多人没有进行白内障超声乳化手术（34%）、翼状胬肉切除术（46.9%）或眼睑裂伤修复术（31.3%）。
根据其原籍国的不同，住院医师在培训中获得的能力存在很大的异质性，尤其是在手术能力方面。
