Sažetak

The aim of the study was to perform qualitative and quantitative analysis of residency curriculum in ophthalmology. A structured anonymous questionnaire was distributed to 73 medical doctors who were at least on the second year of their residency training in ophthalmology or young ophthalmologists with maximum 4 years of experience. The questionnaire consisted of 52 questions covering every segment of education from the current Protocol for Residency Education of Health Care Professionals in Ophthalmology. Forty-two (58%) doctors answered the questionnaire. Qualitative analysis showed that most of the procedures were mastered by residents. Diagnostic and/or examination procedures were mastered better than surgical and/or interventional procedures. Quantitative analysis showed that the majority of residents failed to reach the prescribed number of surgical procedures. Thirty-three (79%) participants were not satisfied with the current residency curriculum. Although residents mastered most of the prescribed procedures, current residency curriculum is far from being perfect and needs improvements. We think that objective assessment tools for monitoring the progress and competencies of residents during their residency training need to be developed.
