Curriculum Innovations: Implementation of a Targeted Longitudinal Rotation to Enhance Direct Ophthalmoscopy Learning for Neurology Residents
Integrating an optometry or ophthalmology rotation into neurology residencies enhanced both subjective confidence and objective competence in DO, underscoring the importance of deliberate, structured practice in mastering diagnostic examination skills. Incorporation of self-regulated learning techniques and user-friendly technology may further enhance curricular efficacy. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of adopting this curriculum across various residency programs, particularly those that recognize the value of fundoscopic examination but lack adequate training opportunities.
