Structure of rotation |
One-on-one with attendings/residents |
|
Amt/quality of time residents/attendings |
Almost exclusively in clinic with residents, very minimal attending time. You present to residents who then see the pt's themselves and then the residents present to the attendings. 90% of your time is spent w/ the residents and then the other 10% is with the resident/attending simultaneously Majority of time was spent w/residents in the clinic. The first few days were luckily slower so the residents actually had time to teach us how to do parts of the ophtho exam. After those couple of days, things got really busy and the teaching was a lot less. |

Typical day |
All clinic in the AM and then observing in the OR in the afternoon. Or just clinic all day. 8am lecture clinic from 9-12 and then 1-5 OR time sporadically throughout the week Usually we would get in at 8AM for lecture, morning clinic started at 9AM-noon or 12:30. Afternoon clinic started at 1PM-4:30PM. Since we had 4 students on, usually 2 of us would each take a half day of clinic and 2 of us would go watch surgeries in the OR (no scrubbing for this). One day we saw some optho path slides. |

Other comments |
Not much teaching and minimal contact with attendings I did not really get better at using the ophthalmoscope in this rotation because we mostly were practicing using the slit lamp. In terms of getting a good history on an acute eye problem, that definitely improved. |
