Our undergraduate teaching mainly involves the students of Phase III Year 4 MD program.
It is a comprehensive 3-week rotational posting
MD students learn about basic ophthalmology knowledge, signs and symptoms, examination techniques, diagnoses and basic treatment of eye diseases. The students are also exposed to emergency cases to be able to recognize cases that need further referral to eye specialists.
Example of 3 weeks ophthalmology posting timetable.
