OPHTHALMOLOGY 1 PART II - 2008 THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS OF CANADA PART II PRE-SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE OPHTHALMOLOGY University: Name of Program Director: Date of Review: Sites Participating in this Program: Program Website / URL: OPHTHALMOLOGY 2 PART II - 2008 IV. RESOURCES Standard B.4 "There must be sufficient resources including teaching faculty, the number and variety of patients, physical and technical resources, as well as the supporting facilities and services necessary to provide the opportunity for all residents in the program to achieve the educational objectives and receive full training as defined by the specialty training requirements in the specialty or subspecialty." Where the resources to provide "full training" are not available at the sponsoring university, several different types of inter-university affiliations may be negotiated, as stated in the grey book "General Information Concerning Accreditation of Residency Programs." It should be noted that the exchange of residents between two fully accredited programs does not require an inter-university affiliation. 1. Teaching Faculty List by teaching site the members of the teaching faculty who have a major role in this program, including members from other departments. In indicating a subspecialty, use as a criterion whether he or she is considered by colleagues as a subspecialist and functions academically and professionally as one. Teaching Site Name University Rank Specialty Qualifications What percentage of faculty listed above (#2.) have been practising in the specialty/subspecialty: < 15 years % > 25 years % Subspecialty (If any) Nature of Interaction with Resident (e.g. clinical, teaching, research) OPHTHALMOLOGY 2. 3 PART II - 2008 Ophthalmic Surgery TABLE I (Statistics for most recent 12-months) (Dates: ) Hospital Comments: Cataract Strabismus Glaucoma Cornea Retina Adnexa Other Total OPHTHALMOLOGY 3. 4 PART II - 2008 Day Surgery Provide statistics on the number of "day surgery" operations performed per year in each teaching hospital. Comment on the types of operations, and indicate the manner in which such experience is made available for the training of residents. 4. Emergency Care and Ocular Trauma Describe the arrangements for the reception and care of injuries involving the eye and related structures, with specific reference to the role played by ophthalmology residents and their supervisors in providing initial and definitive care for such patients. 5. Cornea and External Eye Disease Describe the resources and arrangements for teaching of cornea and external eye disease. 6. Glaucoma Describe the resources and arrangements for teaching of glaucoma. 7. Neuro-ophthalmology Describe the resources and arrangements for teaching of neuro-ophthalmology. 8. Optics and Refraction Describe the resources and arrangements for teaching of optics and refraction. 9. Orbit/Lids/Lacrimal Describe the resources and arrangements for teaching of orbit/lids/lacrimal. 10. Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Describe the resources and arrangements for teaching of pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus. 11. Retina/Vitreous OPHTHALMOLOGY 5 PART II - 2008 Describe the resources and arrangements for teaching of retina/vitreous. 12. Facilities a) Consultations Indicate the institutions that provide the major sources for consultations on other services. Describe the arrangements for residents to gain primary experience in handling consultations including urgent and emergency requests and intensive care consultations. b) Ambulatory Care Facilities Describe the resources available and the arrangements made for the training of residents in ambulatory care facilities. c) Associated Clinical Services Outline the role of the services associated with the assessment and treatment of eye disease such as ocular pathology, radiology/medical imaging, and radiation oncology. Comment upon any specific liaison arrangements with medical and surgical services such as neurology, pediatrics, dermatology, neurosurgery, otolaryngology and plastic surgery. 13. Summary of Adequacy of Resources Comment on the adequacy of the resources in the overall clinical program, with particular reference to the relationship between such resources and the number of residents dependent upon them. Include consideration of the following questions: Are there significant areas where the workload of teachers (clinical care, undergraduate teaching, etc.) is such as to affect adversely the continuous supervision and instruction of residents in ophthalmology? What is the average number of beds (or range) available in the program? Do all senior residents have an opportunity to be in charge of a clinical teaching service? Are the numbers of patients available for teaching, including surgical patients, sufficient to provide full and adequate training for all residents in the program?
