Structured simulation-based training with frugal ophthalmic instruments rapidly equips non-ophthalmologists to identify malarial retinopathy in simulation eyes: an audit of a training course
Structured simulation-based training using frugal ophthalmoscopes can equip non-ophthalmologists with skills to identify MR in simulation eyes. Future work should focus on long-term skill retention and validation in a real-world clinical setting.
