Sept 2010-Now Developer, Glaucoma Mock Orals Module. Created a mock oral examination and have administered exam to all 2nd year residents at the end of their glaucoma rotation (9 residents to date). Examination assesses learning and introduces residents to the oral boards format. March 2011-Now Developer, New Didactic Format for Glaucoma Teaching to Residents. Developed materials for, organized, and implemented a new format for teaching visual field analysis, optic nerve assessment, and management of glaucoma care to ophthalmology residents in training. Lectures previously given in person have been placed on-line, and time previously allocated for Pradeep Y. Ramulu, MD, MHS, PhD Page 12 lectures has been replaced with interactive case-based discussion in which 5-7 faculty review case findings and management strategies with an attending physician. The Wilmer Residency Education Task Force recommended that many of the principles of this program be incorporated department-wide, and now all Wilmer teaching is done in 3-hours sessions as opposed to daily 1 hour morning lectures. June 2012 – Now Glaucoma Division Residency Education Champion. Am responsible for teaching and education of glaucoma for Wilmer Eye Institute residents. Responsibilities include organizing and leading 5 three-hour didactic sessions a year. For each session, I arrange for 3 faculty (myself and 2 others) to hold structured case discussions with the residents. The remaining 90 minutes contain a quiz, quiz review, and a jeopardy-style game show to teach/review factual information. I am responsible for creating all materials for these sessions including the case materials with imbedded questions, an “answer sheet” for case questions, quizzes, and game show questions.
