在本课程中, the student should acquire an understanding of the eye, 它的功能, its abnormalities and diseases, and its relation to the body as a whole. Students are taught history taking skills and examination techniques. They are taught to intelligently approach a patient with eye problems, ask the proper questions to obtain a valuable history, and examine a patient to accurately identify pathology if it exists. 

The main focus of the elective is to gain basic examination skills, be able to recognize the more serious problems that threaten vision and require treatment, and to have a basic understanding of therapy, thus most of the elective time is spent in the eye clinic examining patients. As students develop a working knowledge of the slit lamp and indirect ophthalmoscope, they will become familiar with eye changes in both local and systemic disease. Students will also attend surgery and learn about surgical techniques as part of the curriculum. Students will round with the inpatient residents and attendings on patients admitted to the hospital. 如果感兴趣, students have the opportunity to see consults with the residents to get exposure to the management of acute ophthalmic issues. Students can then present patients at Monday morning conference to practice presentation skills and demonstrate their understanding of ophthalmic pathology. They are also encouraged to participate in case presentations and literature reviews, attend morning lectures, 会议, 会诊, 期刊社, and special programs on the Departmental schedule. 

Ample resources are available on the Departmental Moodle app to provide a background for clinical exposure and patient care. A 30-minute presentation by students taking the elective for at least 4 credits is part of the Course curriculum.  No attempt is made to teach students to refract in the short time allowed.
