We piloted an innovation in teaching by conducting live virtual bedside clinics and evaluated the effectiveness compared to conventional bedside clinics. The purpose is to report the methodology and survey results of this innovation in teaching. A virtual bedside clinic was set up utilizing multiple audio-visual aids at a tertiary eye care facility. The bedside clinic was conducted and streamed live to pre-registered participants across the globe using the Zoom platform. The online survey was conducted comparing its effectiveness with conventional bedside clinics. A total of five sessions were conducted. A total of 2058 participants registered (411/session), of which 938 (45.57%) attended (187/session). A total of 287 participants (30.6%) responded to the survey. The respondents included ophthalmology residents (43.4%), fellows (19%), sub-specialty ophthalmologists (15.4%), general ophthalmologists (12%), and optometrists (9%). More than 95% of the respondents felt that these clinics were equally effective/better in imparting the following: physical examination 97%, clinical knowledge 99.3%, clinical reasoning 98.3%, procedural skills 95%, and communication skills 96.5%. Respondents suggested that these clinics were better/equally effective in the following techniques: general examination (96%), ocular motility (93.3%), nystagmus evaluation (93.3%), and anterior (80%) and posterior segment examination (73.3%). The hybrid mode presentation (97.3%) and discussion with the panel (100%) were reported to be equally effective/much better. Live virtual bedside clinics are a novel and effective way of continuing quality teaching and impactful learning. Most of the bedside manners, procedural skills, and examination techniques can be effectively taught through this virtual platform with a scope to improve anterior and posterior segment examination skills.
我们在教学中尝试了一项创新，即进行实时虚拟床边临床教学，并评估其与传统床边临床教学的效果。目的是报告这种创新教学的方法和调查结果。在一家三级眼科保健机构中，利用多种视听辅助工具设立了虚拟床边临床教学。利用 Zoom 平台，向全球预先注册的参与者进行床边临床教学，并进行现场直播。通过在线调查比较其与传统床边临床教学的效果。共进行了五次床边临床教学。共有 2058 名参与者注册（每次 411 名），其中 938 名（每次 187 名）参加。共有 287 名参与者（30.6%）对调查做出回应。受访者包括眼科住院医师（43.4%）、研究员（19%）、专科眼科医生（15.4%）、普通眼科医生（12%）和验光师（9%）。超过 95%的受访者认为这些临床教学在传授以下方面同样有效/更好：体格检查 97%、临床知识 99.3%、临床推理 98.3%、操作技能 95%和沟通技巧 96.5%。受访者认为这些临床教学在以下技术方面更好/同样有效：一般检查（96%）、眼球运动（93.3%）、眼球震颤评估（93.3%）以及前节（80%）和后节检查（73.3%）。混合模式演示（97.3%）和与专家组讨论（100%）被认为同样有效/更好。实时虚拟床边临床教学是一种新颖而有效的继续提供高质量教学和产生有影响力的学习的方法。通过这个虚拟平台，可以有效地教授大部分的床边检查技巧、操作技能和检查技术，有潜力提高前节和后节检查技能。
